Irish word of the day! Two words for nature - nรกdรบr and dรบlra. Nรกdรบr is more formal and typically refers to the nature of something, i.e the laws of nature. Dรบlra refers to the natural world like the earth, wildlife etc. ๐ŸŒฟ

See some more words in our Discord server discord.gg/2Et6hMr9

Lore Drop #1 โœ๏ธ The Tuatha Dรฉ Danann was a magical race with supernatural powers who migrated to Ireland. They're primarily made up of gods and their name means "People of the Goddess Danu". They came to Ireland with four treasures - spear, sword, harp and cauldron.
