So strong was their influence that after a thousand or more years of fusion with previous settlers, they were still known by their ancient tribal name, the Tútha dé Danann. With them they brought four great, magical possessions. Firstly, the Stone of Destiny, would cry out when the lawful king touched it and which to this day stands on the Hill of Tara, seat of the high kings of Ireland. Secondly, the flashing spear of their warrior god Lugh which, once hurled, brought inevitable victory to his soldiers. Thirdly, the Sword of Nuada, from which nobody could hide or flee, would seek out all enemies and destroy them. Finally, the cauldron of their all-powerful god, the Daghda, not only satisfied his insatiable desire for porridge, but also fed to bursting all who ate from it!
