== The Clanholds == 

While the Poblachd is the largest single Keltoi nation, the Clanholds make up a total of ten major and several minor clanlands in the southern area of the continent, making up an area roughly two-and-a-half times the size of the Poblachd. Though they are independent, they have formed a rough union of sorts to compete with the Poblachd and interact with them on a more level footing. They tend to be more traditional and don't make extensive use of clan Kincaed's alchemical magic. There have been intermittent wars and border skirmishes, but they have been largely unsuccessful. The major clanholds are:

'''Clan Uwain''': a stable and agriculturally dominant clanhold, it is also strongly traditional. Ruled by Uwain, who takes the clan's name upon ascention to Archdruid.
'''Clan McLearan''': Called the "Stone Wolves", they are an old clan on the frozen shores of the south, they are regarded as grim and humorless by the other clanholders. They brood in their stone fortresses and raid enemy clans for supplies and gold, as theirs is a poor area.
'''Clan Eilloweth''': living in the low foothills in the west, they are miners and smiths who revere their queen Raignohailt who is said to be immortal.
'''Clan Gowaren''': Claiming to be the descendents of the great heroes of the past, Gowaren are a proud and reckless folk. They terrify their foes by utilising trained battle boars, woad and their claidhmores, and little else. 
'''Clan Fiodhar''': The famous Fiodhar whiskey distillery has made this clan a very wealthy one indeed, though they are traditionally relatively wll-to-do anyway. They are very mercantile and tend to prefer trade over war.
