THE CELTIC ARMY
Celts are a savage and war-like breed of humans who inhabit the great island of Albion, and to a lesser extent, the smaller sister island, Morien. Celts are very loosely related to each other, and their only common thing is the reverence of the Mother Goddess Danu. Also, the druids and the skalds, the celtic bards, are revered in all Albion. Otherwise, the tribes wage war against each other, and plunder their brother celts quite happily. There are countless tribes that vary in size and physical characteristics as well as in the level of their civilization and technique, but there are three major
Houses.
First, there is the Kindom of Tirnan, the most advanced and powerful of all Celtic kindoms. These people who live in the lowlands of the Albion are propably foreing origin, as their blond hair, tall bodies and steel weapons would suggest. They call themselves the Norrans, though many tribes subjucated by them call them by many other names that shall not be written here.
Second great tribe are the Scaths, fierce berserker warriors, who live in the northern parts of Albion. These warriors are famous for their prowess in battle, habit of bringing great deal of musicians with them to the field, and odious sacraficial rites to Danu. The land the Scaths inhibit is called Highland; rough, rugged and unhospitable, just like the inhabitants.
Thirdly, the people of Morien are a hardy, grim breed. They suffer from the attentions of their celtic cousins in the form of pirate ships. Because of this, the kings of Morien tend to be warriors rather than scholars, and many a pirate ship has been lost to the treacherous coast of Morien.
It is impossible to give accurate descriptions of all the lesser tribes, but few of these deserve a special look. Dark Tribes are a small coalition of warriors. These maniacs belive that they are blessed by the war-god Crom-Cruarch, and that they are invincible. They paint their skin black and walk slowly towards the enemy, for they think that running to combat would suggest that you are a coward.
The Feys are very rare these days, and getting rarer still. They are an enchanted tribe, and many of them are blessed with the gift of the Second sight. They cannot touch cold iron, and thus use stone weapons. In the open field they tend to fare badly, but when fighting in their beloved forests, they are undefeatable. They are ruled by the king Oberon and Queen Titania that live in an enchanted island of Avalon, west from the coast of Albion.
Many Celts wander away from their relatively poor homeland, and being mighty and determined warriors, they are much in demand as mercenaries.
