Personal history
ugh is the son of Ethniu, a Fomorian, and Cian of the Tuatha Dé Danann, uniting two powerful bloodlines. Despite his Fomorian heritage, Lugh is a champion of the Tuatha Dé Danann and a protector of their lands and people. His dual lineage is a testament to his belief in the unity of opposites and the power of transformation, both personal and societal.
Lugh is also the master of all arts and skills, earning him the title Samildánach (Master of All Crafts). When he first approached the court of the gods, he was only allowed to enter by proving his worth through the unique mastery of every craft. Once inside, he quickly became a pivotal figure in their struggles and triumphs.
Among his greatest deeds is his leadership during the Second Battle of Mag Tuired, where he faced his grandfather, Balor of the Evil Eye, leader of the Fomorians. In a climactic moment, Lugh used his spear to slay Balor, securing the victory of the Tuatha Dé Danann and the sovereignty of the land. This act cemented Lugh as a god of protection, renewal, and leadership.
