Wasn't there some stupid cartoon about this back in the 90s? Something involving "knights" ifn I recall.

Tir na n'Og, Land of the Ever Young

Tir na n'Og is a blessed isle surrounded by whispering mists. It is the home of the Tuatha, a highly magical race descended from the Nemedians who once warred with the Fomorians. The Tuatha have made themselves lords and masters over the Fir Bolg, a lesser race descended from the same Nemedian ancestors. With the aid of the Fir Bolg, the Tuatha attacked the Fomorian giants and almost succeeded where the Nemedians failed, but eventually the Fomorians proved too powerful and the Tuatha were driven back to their Blessed Isle. The Tuatha and their Sidhe descendants have turned to crafts, poetry and magical arts, but some have chosen the path of war and have become warriors and generals of great renown. The Fir Bolg, inferior to the Tuatha but still far superior to ordinary men, compose much of the population and serve as farmers and lowly warriors.

National Features
Race: Tuatha, Sidhe, Fir Bolg
Military: Fir Bolg infantry, Sidhe infantry, sacred Tuatha warriors
Magic: Air, Nature, Water, some Earth
Priests: Average
Buildings: Standard Forts

OP, you know Neverland from Peter Pan? The island full of faeries and kids who don't grow up?

It's that place. Literally that place. Or I guess figuratively, metaphorically, and mythically that place? IDK if there's any pirates there now in modern times, though, I've never been.

Tír = Land
Óg = Young/youth.

It's common for people who are named after their father to have 'Óg' after their forename such as:
Sean Óg = Sean Junior.

The accent above it is called a 'fada' which means 'long'. It's not pronounced 'Awg', it's 'Owe-g'

Yea.

I looked towards the corner, with its coal black shadows thrown from the edge of the fireplace mantle and remembered agin what old Ruthfield had said about the old tenebrous things told of in that accursed Necromicon that shimmer there. I began to sweat profusely and my poor mind began to race with thoughts of long forgotten incantations and vile rites. It was then the words came again to me, in startling reality. Tir na nog.

The Provisional IRA is incorporated into the state security apparatus, where it counters Protestant paramilitaries. It would grow into the core of the Tir Republican Corps (TRC).

no, "hobos" were homeless folks who worked for their money while travelling (due to not having a stable life or home), while "bums" were what we typically think of as hobos today (homeless folks who got by with panhandling and scavenging to survive in a society that wanted them dead)

of course, both terms only meant what they meant almost a century ago, and terms shift over time
