Picts Melee Infantry

Followers of Morrigan

The Morrigan – the great, shape-shifting phantom queen of Celtic mythology – was the patron goddess of many things; variously death, war, revenge, fate, magic, prophecy, horses and the night all fell under her sphere of influence. She was said to have taken the form of the raven to fly over the battlefield, leading an army of undead soldiers, influencing the direction of the fight and deciding its outcome. The Morrigan had two other aspects, Nemain and Badb, who presided over the fury and venom of the combat respectively. Once the battle was over and the survivors had left the field, the Morrigan claimed her “acorn crop” – the heads of the slain as her trophies. Warriors aspired to bravery and heroism to gain the goddess’ favour and secure victory.
