Celts قصص

I've always been fascinated by the ancient Celts, their culture and their captivating folklore. So I wanted to create the fiercest, most deadly Celtic warrior of all; someone who wasn't just a fighter, but a thinker too. * * * In their quest to annex territories, the Romans enslaved many countries and civilizations, hence making numerous enemies. One such threat was that of the Celts. Though small in number and scattered around Europe, these people were ferocious warriors and their pride did not let them kneel at the feet of the Romans. The cause of 'The Great Fire of Rome' in AD64 has always been one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Only four of the fourteen districts escaped the fire. Thee districts were completely destroyed and the remaining seven were severely damaged. The fire burned for six days. Could the Celts be related to the Great Fire . . . ? A Note to Readers - 'Hibernia' was the ancient name for Ireland and 'Albion' was the name of the UK. Although many of the characters in this book are fictitious, most of the events taking place are based on true stories and accounts.

Everyone likes to talk about Wonderland and Alice. But who remembers those who came before Alice? Who remembers those who transformed the underland into the wonderland it is now? Those people are now folk lore, but their story still remains.

The great mythological gods of the world. Zeus, Thor, Horus, Finn McCool... Sorry what was that last one? Ancient mythologies were used by the people of their times to explain the goings on in the world around them, and in the modern world are used as sources of inspiration. Whether it's Marvels 'Thor', or Rick Riordan's 'Percy Jackson' series, most people today are at least in some way acquainted with the major mythological pantheons and legends. But in all the mythologies used today in popular culture, one seems to be missing. Irish Mythology. So, for the sake of my own interest, and for the sake of teaching some of you the interesting, slightly convoluted, and often extremely bizarre world of Irish mythology, I've don't my best to connect the dots, and put together a (mostly) cohesive guide to the Irish Mythos and Folklore.

Braonan is a Roman soldier... except for the part where he's not Roman. He is a conquered Galli (celt). Four years ago, the men of his clan were taken from their home to serve their oppressors. The men and boys were separated for training and he has not seen his Athair (father) since. It's just him and his bràthair beag (little brother), Corraidhin. Braonan despises the Romans, but is afraid that if he steps out of line, Corraidhin will be punished. Corraidhin considers himself Roman and just wishes his big brother would give him some space. The issue comes when they are deployed, ... in their cousin's homeland. Braonan is ready to run, desert the military, go home. But his bràthair won't come. He can either go to battle with his own people, his family, or he can abandon his baby brother. Every choice he can think to make would end in death, until he finds an unlikely ally in an adopted clan member, along with a solemn truth.

It has been hundreds of years since my native land was founded, when Nobleman Erik Helgaf was forced to make the great voyage across the sea, as punishment for subversive activity, whether real or imagined. Knowledge of whether it was a conspiracy against the man by The Old Kingdom, or that there was indeed a conspiracy of his own against The Old Kingdom, has been lost by now. Through this inquiry may it be only in what amounts to a minority of details which would be a mystery to our posterity. And may this inquiry give strength for a better future for our land. The Old Kingdom believed that the forced voyage would be a most savage fate in the frigid time of the year, when the unappeased Abyss could devour seafarers and their rigged galleys. Erik and hundreds of faithful companions boarded their vessels; Some were of similarly respectable blood, but many were the common citizens of his fief; general outcasts from the greater Kingdom as well.  Even in peril, they stood by their lord, knowing that while he wasn’t the wealthiest or most powerful, he would find a solution.
