The Roman Britain Game [Pt1]

The places one can be from functions like races in most fantasy games. In the RBG it will be somewhat more so. The basic list is as follows: Romans, Brythonic Celts, Wester Celts, Saxon Shore Celts, Picts. I may bring in the Angles, Jutes and Irish at a later point.

The Romans are self explanatory, they are what is left when the legions pulled out, they are mostly land owners, retired Legionaries, and traders from the empire. Brythonic Celts are the Celts who were assimilated into the empire. They make up the vast majority of the people in Britannia. The Western Celts are the unassimilated Celts in the areas of Wales, the lakes and peaks districts and western Scottish lowlands. The Saxon Shore Celts are from the south easter coastal areas. they are an area with closer ties to the continental Germanic tribes. They have been assimilating continental migrants for the entirety of the Roman occupation but are starting to develop a distinct identity. The Picts are a tribal people from north of Hadrian's wall.
