Mythology
The Fomorians
The Fomorians are a supernatural people who appear in Ireland's Mythological Cycle.
They are frequently presented as opponents or rivals of the Tuatha Dé Danann and are central to the events leading to the Second Battle of Mag Tuired.
Figures associated with them include the formidable Balor. The traditions surrounding the Fomorians vary across medieval texts, and modern portrayals of them as a single fixed race of monsters oversimplify the surviving material.

Tory Island
County Donegal, Ireland
Tory Island has a particularly strong folklore association with Balor and the Fomorians. The island's dramatic landscape includes Dún Bhalóir, traditionally identified as Balor's fort. This is a traditional mythological association rather than evidence of a historical Fomorian settlement.
