Question: What's the story of Danu aligning with the Titans in your games? Alternatively, if there is fiction written on the subject, could you point me to it?

Actually, there is no story of Danu aligning with the Titans in our story, at least not yet. For most games, we'd recommend she start as a Titan and never be available as a playable parent. She was way too ancient, remote and uninvolved to really be a candidate for godhood, but since Dierdre is there, clearly we are Up to Something and the plot must needs explain what the hell is going on.

And that I can't tell you, because players are still involved in that plot. If Dierdre is a true Scion - and she does seem to be - then Danu must have been a goddess when she created her, but what does that mean? Was she the last Scion of Danu before the ancient mother of the Tuatha departed to join the Titans? Is she the first Scion of Danu, returning to aid her people after centuries apart? Is she really a Scion at all, and if she's not, how does she so perfectly approximate one? What was Danu's reason for creating her, when she hasn't had children since she founded the Celtic pantheons in the mists of ages past? Are there secret clues embedded in the fiction surrounding the plot?

Nobody knows. All they know is that she's for some reason Important, at least enough for the Tuatha to dedicate an entire band of Scions to a rescue mission to retrieve her, and Manannan mac Lir, when he can be convinced to talk about the subject, has vaguely implied that there may be A Prophecy. And for the moment, that's all anybody knows about it.

Speculation! Mystery!
