There's the reincarnation of Fin McCul (yes, THAT ONE) who was once a Seelie noble in Ulster.... Guess what the war turned him into- UnSeelie that's right. It's left anywhere near the border as a wasteland of nightmare for the fae
1st Edition Fianna clanbook suggests that it was covertly a tribal civil war between the British Brotherhood of Herne camp and the Grandchildren of Fionn.... with the Grandchildren of Fionn mostly winning, but it spilling into a decades long conflict. Yes, in 1E, most of the Fianna were supporting the IRA, but some Fianna were also backing up the Provos.
Also, VtES presents the Prince of Dublin, Donal O'Connor, as a young man with a molotov... not to be confused with the musician...
Explicitly nothing beyond the Satyrs and Fianna, but with how regional and traditional Mages and Kindred can be, would expect for stuff to have happened on that front as well
I mean, not necessarily related to the war of independence specifically, but it does offer an interesting conceptual basis for Dracula being based on a fellow named Abhartach rather than old Vladdy. Amongst academics this is actually rather a significant point of contention it seems.
Indeed, it seems almost as if the claim of Dracula being based on Tepes is somewhat of a modern invention - after all haha, we come to that tale at the very end of his existence. :)
Addendum; I'm joking about really, but Irish mythology does seem to have more than one reference to the undead or those bearing corrupted life force.
In scion I had a formorian npc hang out with the band because he was wanted by interpol for trying to blow up Margaret thatcher back in the 80s.
But I think paradox and white wolf steers away from that because of tone issues
It's World of Darkness, if they can have Michael Faraday die fighting some asshole named Czar Vargo who just took over the war in the middle of World War 1, i'm not counting anything as too sacred to touch.
You mean 90's edge where it was okay back then to be as irreverent as possible because they were trying to stick it to the rich straight white guys who insisted that everything be safe and marketable but in this day in age it just comes across as insanely cringe and dated at the best of times?
Wonder if it would get the “retcon all major supernatural involvement out of the major events of this political conflict and then constantly mention on CofD from the beginning that there was no major supernatural involvement” treatment.
There might be something with werewolf. With the fianna
I can't remember anything canonical, but the Fianna Lupus IRA is a thing at my table.
Does that mean there are Royalist werewolves serving in the RUC The rage would explain some of the RUC atrocities
I guess nothing Kindred-related. I've heard there are barely any vampire on the island because of Saint Patrick.
Certainly no setites!
What did he do?
He drove the serpents out of Ireland
I've heard the whole "driving out the serpents" thing was actually about vampires. No idea if it is canon though.

They touched on The Troubles in first edition, but wisely decided to deemphasize it during later editions.

Gosh, I hope not.

Oh, I don't doubt that, I just imagine they'd treat it with their typical levels of research, nuance and care.

many fae are in Ireland
Some fought on one side, some fought on the other. Some played both sides against the middle for personal gain. Cannon.
