From the introduction: Mythic Ireland is a fantasy setting for the Deluxe Tunnels and Trolls roleplaying game. It is a grittier, humancentric world that might have existed several centuries before the start of Irish history. This work draws heavily from many sources—textbooks, scholarly articles, mythology, historical accounts, fantasy fiction, historical fiction, my numerous visits to Ireland, and still others. Much herein reflects simplification to promote understanding, and, frankly, some of it I fabricated in the absence of anything concrete. That said, please do not look for historical (or linguistic) accuracy.
