Nemain
Nemain is the embodiment of the term Battle Queen. Unlike her two sisters, who often took on a passive role and represented the strategic aspects of war and the maddening fear respectively, Nemain's domain is the fury and destruction of war and she enacts this by participating in large battles herself.
"So that Nemain brought intoxication upon the army there, falling in their armour and on the points of their spears and sword-edges, so a hundred warriors of them die in the midst of the encampment and at the side of that place a time of terror the cry carried from on high."
- Book of Leinster, fol.54
