I've been thinking about this for a really long time, since I'm a big fan of the nature goddess thing.

In Celtic Lore, the Nature Goddess Druantia is known as the goddess of fertility, evergreen trees, wild-life, and queen of druids and fairies. The imps in Mabinogi originate from Fiohd Dungeon, and refer to their leader as "Mom". They don't have any real place in the fomorian hierarchy, other than to be grunts, but are intuitive with the world around them. They also at one point lived in peace with the first humans to arrive in Uladh before the first war according to Lugh who protected the great tree that resided in Fiodh.

Are Lugh and Druantia siblings, and is Druantia some Jovial chill goddess that teaches Imps to be l33t-speaking turds?

    Not sure, but that Druantia sounds like a great potential boss for Fiodh Phantasm, if the developers make such a dungeon.

    I would love to see the Imp Queen of Fiodh Forest appear.
    Its one of those lingering bits of lore that most people don't even know exists.

    Would be grand if we had more dungeons similar to Phantasm to run for more the same materials. So we can take a break from Rabbie and attempt a different kind of Phantasm level dungeon.
    They could even use the Sarracenias as wraiths.

    Is Druantia separate from Danu?

    I mean the description for Homestead Stones, says that they contain the power of "Danu, the goddess of earth."

    Danu is the mother of the irish gods and fairies. Druantia is goddess of the trees and plants, she would be one of the many fertility gods.

    She also rules over the Dryads as the Queen of Druids, which may or may not include imps and floral fairies.

    I completely forgot about her.

    They should definitely add in a Fiodh Phantasm, but make it different so that it's slightly easier/harder according to the new dungeon difficulty rankings (Easiest to hardest in this order: Alby -> Ciar -> Math -> Rabbie -> Barri -> Coill -> Fiodh -> Rundal -> Peaca). The harder the Phantasm dungeon, the more/better rewards you get.

    This would also get developers to release new talents or skills since Peaca Phantasm would obviously be much harder than Rabbie Phantasm.
