Dian Cécht
God of healing and medicine
Dian Cécht is most well-known for attaching Nuada's silver arm and his role in the second battle of Moytura.
It is undeniable that he possesses great skill as the physician of the gods. However, he is very arrogant and does not allow anyone to challenge his authority.
The best example of this is when his own son contradicted him on how to treat Nuada's arm. While Dian Cécht wanted to attach the silver arm, his son insisted on completely regrowing the arm. Thoroughly enraged by this Dian Cécht attempted to kill his son four times in a row. The first three times his son managed to heel his mortal wounds with his own craft. However, the fourth assault whereby Dian Cécht completely dug out his brain was too much and he died.
After the son was buried there was a total of 350 medical herbs growing on his grave.
