If you want to get the names right it's the gaels not the scots. It gets confused becuase of Constantine being the first king of scotland but raised by Gaels.Dudro said:Well actually, The Picts and Scots are different factions. In the story, the Scots, a culture who's birthland was Eire, start immigrating to the shores of Western Caledonia, so I'm hoping conflict begins to occur there.

Since you said you'll be mushing the timeframe, I wonder why there are still Romans as distinct from Romano-British in Arthur's time. Or is that how the series ends up?
Don Doggy said:Danes? In Britain in the 5th century?
Dudro said:Don Doggy said:Danes? In Britain in the 5th century?
Yes. Do not question me further... Actually, do, please.
I agree, you should take out the crossbows.Tibertus said:What's up with the crossbows? Aren't they a bit anachronistic, even with this being fiction?
Dudro said:What Ragnar said is true. Crossbows were a relatively new invention by then, so I actually was going to take out one or two types, even though the other crossbows are all going to be improved a bit. Picts definitely had and used crossbows regularly.
