Kluddargos

(Sword Masters)

Kluddargos (Klud-arr-gus) are British champions who use very specialized weapons. Their two-handed longswords have especially heavy blades and require years of practice to master. Able to afford such weapons, they can also afford high-quality armour, including very fine-quality chain shirts. Like other heroes and champions, they march to battle to inspire their fellow tribesmen, but their weapons also give them a tactical purpose: to annihilate enemy armour. Their swords are truly fierce and destructive: their great swings split helmets, smash shields, and collapse cuirasses into the body. The heads they collect will surely be from grotesquely mangled bodies, obliterated by the force of their blows, and the wielders of such weapons will often take satisfaction in finding their foes' bodies left in such a state.

Although the druids are shrouded in mystery, we know that they were a crucial part of Celtic society. They were responsible for the judicial system and religious life of many tribes. Holding a great deal of authority within a tribe, a druid’s judgement in the settling of disputes was widely respected. Druids were not required to fight, but their words instilled vigour, vitality and invulnerability before a battle. Believing that the fate of men was directly connected to nature, druids appeased the gods and, according to the Romans, even turned to human sacrifice when necessary. Caesar spoke of "divine worship, the due performance of sacrifices, private or public, and the interpretation of ritual questions". Human sacrifices in Britain, usually foreign captives or criminals, were supposedly burnt alive in a giant wooden statue, 'the wicker man'.
