Carnute Cingetos
(Carnute Druids)The Carnute Cingetos are druidic warriors of the Carnutes from Aulercia. Their skill and bravery are tremendous, making them useful against other heavy infantry. In addition, their inspiring appearance, a product of their fine armour and horned helmets, urges on their comrades. The Carnutes are devoted followers of the horned god, Cernunnos. Their bravery is unquestionable, and their skill at arms is superb. They are armed and outfitted with the best equipment available. Also, they are charged with defending the Great Gallic Council" where Celts try to solve their internal grievances diplomatically: a job they do with great severity and pride."
The longsword was a weapon of high worth and status within the Celtic community. A warrior had to prove himself in battle many times before he was permitted to wield one. The two-handed longsword was first developed during the 8th century BC, but fell from favour before re-emerging around 450BC. It is possible that Celtic ironwork was significantly behind that of the Romans, as apparently their longswords bent very easily and had to be straightened against the ground. On the other hand, since Celtic ironworking was several centuries old, some believe that Roman accounts of this practice mistook this practise, and it was actually a ritual to 'decommission' defeated, dishonoured or damaged weapons.
