Homebrew FA - Gael Species Details

Background

It is said that the Gaels were orignally the people of the Knight of the Green (Gwain) who were led out of Albion by the Morrigu herself (in the guise of a raven) to avoid being put to death for their part in the assasination attempt on the life of the great Artred, King of Albion.

The Gaels are prolific and adaptable and have spread throughout the land.

Gael society is not as 'structured' as other races and they do not have a single ruler but rather have many feudal 'Knights' who rule communities ranging from small (several dozen) to large (many thousands). The Knights have a cabal, the Crann which notionally governs by agreenment but there is also frequent infighting and political (as well as territorial) manouvering.

Gaels can be found in any number of roles and duties across the land.

Unlike the other races, the Gaels have never been under the rule of the Fomorians and thus have no frame of reference for the fear and hatred that the name evokes.

Characteristics

Generally pale skinned (though not always), the Gaels are of medium height and build. Naturally adaptable they are capable of fulfilling, more or less any role
