Celtic Myth

A single berserk reached us yesterday, after having come all the way over the mountains from the city of Willow, fourteen hundred miles away. He delivered to Alric a single package the size of a man's fist, wrapped in rags, and refuses to talk with anyone about events in the West.

Celtic Myth

Post by headhunter »

I know the Myth series is based on Celtic Mythology but I guess I didn't realize just how close it was.
I don't know how I have gone so many years without coming across these titles:

The Tain - From the Irish epic Tain Bo Cuailnge, translated by Thomas Kinsella
Cuchulain of Muirthemne by Lady Gregory.

I just picked them up so haven't read them yet, but I was curious if there have been any in-depth studies (half-assed articles) about the links between the game and the actual Mythology or if any of you know of books I should be looking into on the subject.

I think it's also inspired from The black company.

and also the last books of the black company are total utter crap. First ones are pretty good

The legendary hero Connacht shares a name with the Kingdom of Connachta, an early medieval Irish Kingdom.
