MA Dalriada, The Old Alliance

Version 0.4

Adds the nation 'Dalriada, The Old Alliance' to the Middle Age.

"Dalriada is a mountainous nation ruled by the descendants of the Fir Bolgs that escaped the fall of Fomoria. When the Fomorians made war with the armies of Man, their fate was bloody and absolute. Most Fir Bolg died in the fighting or surrendered, but some escaped to found the kingdom of Dalriada. War has been the constant companion of the young nation, as the Fir Bolg first clashed with the natives of the land, then with raiders from a far away land, the Vanir, and then with the conquerors of the Tuatha, the armies of Man. For now, the three landed races of Fir Bolg, Humans and Vanir have formed an tenuous alliance, but few trust peace to hold for long.

With their own nation, the Fir Bolg of Dalriada have sought to define a culture apart from Fomoria. The few remaining true Nemedians are revered and the Fir Bolg swear by their heritage as the sons of Nemed, even as Nemedian traditions like bronze armaments and spellsong are discarded."

Dalriada is a successor nation to the Fir Bolg of EA Fomoria and is roughly based on Scotland during and after its emergence as a sovereign state. The nation has a focus on non-sacred mages and troops, with a variety of superhuman infantry, strong battle mages and a throwback to the Dominions 5 conception of the Knights of Avalon.
