In Danaan religion, Dana is the mother of the Tuatha de Danaan and the creator of the universe. In the original mythology of the Fae, Dana was simply the first, oldest, and most powerful of a pantheon of gods, especially but not exclusively the Tuatha, but was not qualitatively different from them. As Danaan theology and philosophy advanced, it became apparent to the Danaans that the universe was ruled by an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevelent being, which they named Dana. The Tuatha grew to be regarded as powerful demigods and servants of Dana.

The primary enemy of Dana is Domnu, a nightmare goddess and being of pure malevelence. Domnu and her children, the Fomorians are weaker than Dana and have already lost the War of Trees to Dana, the Tuatha, and their allies. At the end of time, Dana will judge Domnu and the Fomorians.
