History

Origins

Mannanan was the son of the Celtic god Leir (thus the name Mannanan Mac Lir, Lir being another name of Leir) and possibly Penarddun.

Mannanan became a sea god of the Tuatha de Danaan, having inherited his father's duties upon reaching adulthood.

With the faerie Fand, he sired Niamh Chinn Óir, the Lady of the Lake. When Niahm was still young, Mannanan gave her Enbarr, a magical horse that could run on water and across air.

Pre-Cataclysmic Age

Mannanan and Lir, both sea-gods, were worshiped by the Atlanteans.

Hyborian Age

They were eventually handed down, and became part of the Cimmerian Gods, although they lost their status of sea-gods at that point.
