Exactly! And since the first Orlanthi that my players saw were the Dorastoran (rian? rish?) ones (yes, I'm that young! :) ), who have quite a Viking outlook, I choose to make the Heortlings like the romanticized celts. After all, they have a High King, they have hills, and they have dragons... What do you want more? ;)
