HISTORY
Caillech is of an immortal race known as Tuatha de Danaan, or as humans call them, the sidhe. The Sidhe are considered to be a distinct race, quite separate from human beings yet who have had much contact with mortals over the centuries. This race of beings have powers beyond those of men to move quickly through the air and change their shape at will. Their use of magics consists of timetravel and elemental(air, water, fire, earth). As they are a magical people they decided long ago to go underground into another dimension of space and time the entrances to which are at many sites around Eona Valley.
It is said that in the early days of Ayenee, the Tuatha De Danaan came to the isle descending in a mist so thick it dimmed the rising of three suns. They were possessed of many and great powers. They were not of man's tribe, though they had a similar form. Tall, slender, entrancing to gaze upon-described as shining with empyreal radiance-they were graceful, artistic people who claimed to be seeking no more than a place to live in peace.
As both races seemed to prosper by the union, in time, the Tuatha de selected and trained mortals as Druids: as lawgivers, lorekeepers, bards, seers, and advisors to mortal kings. They gifted those Druids with knowledge of the stars and of the universe, of the sacred mathematics and laws that governed nature, even inducting them into certain mysteries of time itself.
But as time passed, the Druids watched their otherworldly companions never sickening, or aging, envy took root within their mortal hearts. It festered and grew, until one day thriteen of the most powerful Druids presented a list of demands to the Tuatha de, including among them, the secret of their longevity.
They were told man was not yet ready to possess such things. The Tuatha de Danaan decided they could no longer remain among mankind. That very eve, they vanished. Tis said that for three days after they left, the sun was eclipsed by dark clouds, the oceans lay still upon the shores, and all the fruit in the land withered on the limb. In their fury, the thirteen Druids turned to the teachings of an ancient, forbidded god, one whose name is best forgotten, hence not scribed herein. The god to whom the Druids supplicated themselves was a primitive god spawned in the earliest mists of Gaea. Calling upon those darkest powers, armed with the knowledge the Tuatha de had given them, the Druids attempted to follow the immortal ones, to seize their lore, and steal the secret of eternal life.
What the thirteen did not know is that the realms within realms are impenetrable by force. Such travel therein is a delicate process of sifting or straining time and place. In their attempt to brutalize or coerce a path between realms, the thirteen Druids nearly tore them all asunder. The Tuatha de, sensing the distress in the weaving of the world, returned to avert catastrophe. The Tuatha de's fury was immense. They scattered their once-friends, now bitter enemies to the far corners of the earth. They punished the evil ones, the Druids who'd chosen greed over honor, who'd loved power more than they'd valued the sanctity of life-not by killing them, but by locking them into a place between realms, giving them the immortality for which they'd lusted. Eterninty in nothingness, without form, without cease.
To this day the Tuatha de Danaan still reside in a realm close but out of reach to humans. For centuries they have watched from afar as humans and other creatures of the world progressed through time, their existance nearly forgotten to the people of Ayenee.
