Allied with

• Dian Cécht,Goibniu,Lugh,The Dagda

  At Tara, Lugh assembled the champions of the Tuatha Dé Danann for war against the Fomorians — the Dagda to spy and negotiate, Ogma to lead the warriors, Goibniu to forge weapons that never missed, and Dian Cécht to heal the wounded at the Well of Sláine. Together they broke Fomorian power at the Second Battle of Mag Tuired.

Member of

  The Tuatha Dé Danann descended through the sky in a dark cloud upon Ireland, bringing with them the arts of sorcery, druidry, and every craft — a divine race who conquered the Fir Bolg and ruled until the coming of the Milesians.

Associated with

• Second Battle of Mag Tuired

  Ogma fought at the Second Battle of Mag Tuired and in single combat captured Orna, the sword of the Fomorian king Tethra, which thereafter spoke aloud recounting all its deeds whenever drawn from the scabbard.
