So we pick from the listed seven and go from there then? Cooleo. What time period is this? Pre-Roman (well, presumably not this since there's christians around), pre-Viking invasions, or post-Viking invasions (ie: pre-English invasion )?

Post Roman, Pre-Viking!

looking at historical stuff it looks like the Uladh should probably be one province east? The big coastal one. Eochaid was of the Dal Fiatach and the times that dynasty ruled Ulaid their territory was based around Downpatrick (or rather Ráth Celtchair), not Emain Macha, which looks like it was by-and-large abandoned after it got sacked two generations before when Uladh lost all its western territory.
Sorry, been putting together my description for Uladh w/ wikipedia so it really leapt out at me

Bit like this?

 

[Kyzarc Fotjage]

Perfect. Is this what you're looking for in a submission?

Spoiler Uladh :

Uladh: Kyzarc Fotjage
Leadership: Eochaid mac Muiredaig Muinderg
Capital: Ráth Celtchair
Religion: Pagan? Muiredach was apparently blessed by Patrick, but Eochaid was cursed by him. I think they're in the middle of a transition.
Colour: Green
Description: North East Ireland
Uladh is the northeasternmost of the kingdoms of Ireland, a remnant of a kingdom that once spanned the whole of northern Ireland. When their capital of Emain Macha, an ancient fort and strongly symbolic monument, was destroyed by the Three Collas and their king slain on the field, the kingdom was thrown in disarray and most of the western territories declared themselves independent from Uladh's rule. In the face of this devastating loss of territory newly crowned King Muiredach took the throne for his clan. His eldest son, Eochaid, took power following his death and now rules.
The Uladh are an old people who still dream of the days when their rule stretch the breadth of Ireland. Their far northern location kept them somewhat insulated from Roman depredations and Latinization while Pictish attention on the Roman border meant they could freely trade (and raid) with both, leaving a strong Gaelic legacy on the isles and the western coast of Argyll. As such they hold themselves as the true guardians of Gaelic culture, pointing towards their centuries of rule, their close ties with the Scot Gaels across the sea, and historic control over the Emain Macha as proof, though admittedly the first and last have both taken a bit of a hit in the past century.

That is perfect, thank you. My first sign-up!

No further action is needed from you until update 0, which I will attempt once we get a few of the other volunteers in. Feel free to add anything you wish, a flag/stories etc etc.. but no pressure.

 

[Angst]

Can I reserve Mumha? In a community game, but I really want to be purple Pagans. Will add description.

Just checking, you want to be green, not yellow?

 

[Kyzarc Fotjage]

Oh whoops, I started writing it using your original nation listing from saturday where it was green and didn't fix it when you posted its actual map location w/ color. I'd prefer green (be the irishiest irishman I can be), but yellow is fine.

Yeah of course dude! Looking forward to the description. Can I have that before Friday please?

If any of Birdjaguar,erez87,Daftpanzer,TerrisH,Luckymoose,Terrance888,Gelion or any beautiful lurker out there would be interested in taking any of the remaining nations I would greatly appreciate it. Just a brief description before FriYAY!

The Rules are almost complete, but I dare say won't make complete sense until a few updates in so lets get cracking and iron out any of my glaring errors!

 

[erez87]

Looking at Laighn, thou i don’t know much at all about post Roman Ireland so hopefully things will go well. Will post an actual sign up tomorrow after work.
