Agateram 

(Airgedlamh)

Introduction

The Agateram, an Alliance flagship, derives its name from Irish legend.  "Agateram" is the Japanese spelling of "Airgedlamh," which was another name for Nuada, the Celtic god of hunting, prophecy, and healing.

Websites dedicated to Irish mythology give the following information:

In the First Battle of Moy Tura, Nuada, King of the Tuatha De, lost an arm and because of this mutilation was obliged to abdicate in favour of Breas the Beautiful. Meanwhile Nuada, his arm struck off, was seven years under cure from Dian Cecht the Healer. During this time the healing was completed and a silver arm, richly decorated with sacred runes, and with movement in every finger, was fitted to his shoulder. From that time on he was known as Nuada Airgedlamh, or Nuada of the Silver Arm, and he was reinstated in the Sovereignty.

Nuada is depicted having a sword of accuracy, it is said that none could escape it in battle. He is the God of healing, prophecy, and weather Nuada also governs hunting and fishing.
