The Heresy of Math Mathonwy	The Recession of the Tuatha

With the fall of Math Mathonwy, the Tuatha began to undo the damage the war had done. The Tuatha placed the Three Curses on humanity, more to ensure that humanity would never again come close to learning the Secret of Immortality than to punish them. The Curse of Ten Tongues was devised by Oghma; the Shining God created ten languages and taught them to ten different peoples. Only a few he left with memory of the ancient tongue, now known as Gael. The Curse of Four Quarters was devised by Boann, a consort of the Dagda and patron of the oceans, wherein great magical Barricades were constructed to divide the world into four sections…no magic barring that of the Gods themselves could pierce the Barricades, though mortals could walk through them. The Curse of the Veil locked away those other planes, from which Math’s wizards had summoned strange creatures to fight in their war. The druids forgave and welcomed their brothers who had fought with Math, but again began to remove themselves from the world, preferring to remain in regions untouched by Oghma’s Curse of Tongues.

With the fall of Math and the Three Curses, not to mention the resurgence of the giants under Bres, one of the few not destroyed by the Tuatha who had received the Secret of Immortality from Math, humanity again fell into a dark age. Whereas the First Age of Man had lasted two and a half millennia, the spark of the Second Age had died in four centuries.
