>Over on the HQ list, I think we have further evidence in favour of Celts.
Jane - for the stuff I've done on the Heortlings, I've borrowed bits and
pieces from (in no particular order): Norse and Icelandic culture, medieval
Ireland, the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the Celts of Caesar's Gallic Wars,
ancient Judea and Israel, the nineteenth century American settlement of the
West, general Iron Age Europe, and Vedic India. I don't think it is possible
to say that the Heortlings are "mostly Celts" - or even recognizable as
Celts. Or Vikings.
That being said, if I want to give one of my players one non-game book -
and only one book - to get into the Heortling mindset, I give them either
Njal's Saga or Egil's Saga, depending on which I have handy.
