The Kingdom of Abertawe

Resources

This sim is an original creation, based loosely on King Arthur, Celtic, Irish/Welsh, and Druid legends. The ideals of Camelot are combined with the thoughts of the Celtic Women warriors.

Although it, technically, uses a "fantasy" setting we still try to keep it reasonably comparable with early medieval/Celtic culture and technology.

Calendar - The celtic calendar is one based on the cycles of the moon. In this sim, we use that calendar. Each of the thirteen months is named after a tree.

Trees - the trees sacred to the Druids

Army - The Abertawian Army

Festivals - The Druids had four major festivals a year. This guide is only a brief touch on the festivals, more just to give an idea about the life style of the times and what we are trying to portray here.

Religions - there are two primary religions in this sim. This is just a brief overview, not a lot of depth but gives an idea.
