The Daghdha, also known as Eochaid Ollathair and The Dozen King, is the leader of the Celtic pantheon and the oldest child of the goddess Danu.
Personality
The Dozen King is a trickster and generally happy-go-lucky. He enjoys being comical, but can become stern when needed. He keeps watch over both the Celtic people as well the gods and their followers, regardless of their alignment, and will act protect their well-being.
The Daghdha's Priesthood
The Daghdha's priests were all Druids, who dressed in an unusual manner to draw attention to themselves but generally kept to themselves, gathering in large numbers only when important ceremonies were held. Their main duty was the creation of new standing stones with which to track the seasons and exercise their magical powers.
Mechanics-wise, The Daghdha's speciality priests were the same as Druids in 2nd edition, having the same prerequisites and restrictions, but gained the ability to accurately predict the weather on week in advance at 1st level, and at 8th level the ability to cast Heroes Feast once per day.
