: name. Balor. He had one of the ultimate weapon. His
: one eye that whithered all it looked upon. 2 races
: tried to settle in Ireland but were killed of by the
: Fomori. The a new race sucseded. The fir'Bolg(also Fir
: Bholg) . They interbred with the Fomori and inherited
: their battle-sickness. And the name of a land.
