Who were the Tuatha Dé Danann?

The Tuatha Dé Danann were a divine race in Irish mythology believed to have arrived in Ireland from the sky or from a distant island. They were said to be skilled in the arts of magic, science, and warfare. According to legend, they came bearing four legendary treasures — the Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny), the Sword of Lugh, the Spear of Lugh, and the Cauldron of the Dagda — each imbued with mystical powers. They defeated the Fir Bolg and ruled Ireland until the arrival of the Milesians, who eventually overthrew them.

What are they known for?
