The Story so far…..
The Romans invaded England in 43AD, colonized for thirty years, and have turned their heads northward.
In 74 AD They begun building two long roads north, ready for invasion.
The Norlands dhruids tried to unite the separate clans, but the ‘great gather’ broke down due to petty tribal squabbles.
In secret, the chief’s sons have allied together, determined to unite the clans against the oncoming Roman threat. Calach of the largest clan, Caledonii, and Finlass of the Meatae are the principle conspirators.
Kheltine, (the old arch-druid) in his dying words has told Calach that he has a vision that only through Calach’s leadership can the clans be victorious.
Meanwhile, the chief’s sons Calach and Finlass meet regularly to push the plot home.
The time has come when the Clan chiefs have to decide whether to support the plan, or withdraw.
