“They say the gods once roamed the mountain ranges of the world—the high places,” the old woman continues. “Hlín, Hœnir, Eostra, Macha, Diancecht, and Nehalennia. They loved humans and gave some of them special powers which live on in the wielders of this land. On rare occasions they bred with mortals and produced new wielders with fresh divine blood, more powerful than others—the Numenai.”
