Four Winds (Áes Camáir demigods)

Déine ap Gáeth, the Snow Queen, has four sons born of the elemental forces of air. They are the Four Winds, powerful demigods in their own right, and believed by some to be Elder Tempests or Solars.

Some say that The Féth itself sired the four Winds. Though they are quadruplets, it is said that they took up so little space in Déine’s womb that she alone knew she was even pregnant until she delivered them.

Legends depict them as serving as messengers for the gods, and sometimes as liaisons between the gods and mortals.

Though their iconography adorns some Áes Camáir temples, they are not worshipped individually and have no priests dedicated to serving them. It is said, though, that there may be some warlocks for whom they serve as Celestial or Djinn patrons.
