>In Irish-Celtic mythology, the Fomorians are a race of demonic giants,

>After a period of peace, the Tuatha

>Irish race of gods, arrived. They conquered the Firbolgs, but dealt more
>subtly with the Fomorians, although they destroyed their hegemony over
>Ireland for good in the second battle of Mag Tuireadh. The Fomorians were
>given the province of Connacht, and were even allowed to marry some of the
>Tuatha Dé. The king of the Fomorians is the one-eyed Balor
