	~~While~~ the ~~bomb was successful in killing Shad-Hujem~~ and ~~breaking~~ his ~~army~~, ~~it had unexpected effects on many~~ of ~~the Seelie~~. ~~While some like Dundareel were able to recover from the radiation poisoning~~, ~~many more perished after a long wasting sickness~~. ~~This gave the Unseelie Tuatha the advantage they needed to overthrow the Seelie~~, ~~killing many members of the royal family, except Dundareel, who managed to escape using his magic~~.		Later, the ruling Unseelie considered Dundareel a traitor and attempted to negotiate with [[Kingdom of Holden\|Holden]] for his extradition.<ref>Vancil, Matt, et al.

	During the War of the God-King, [[Tuatha Dundareel]] helped [[Simm ~~Buxtahude~~]] to forge an alliance to prevent the [[Cult of Shad-Hujem]] from reaching The God Head Seat. A prince of the Seelie Tuatha, Dundareel committed his forces to help trick the God-King into committing his own. Believing the innate magic of the Seelie would protect them from the effects of [[The Displaced]]'s bomb, the Seelie made up the majority of the force used to draw in the Hujem.
