The largest Keltoi area, the seat of clan Kincaed is called ''Poblachd'', or 'The Republic'. For most of its history, it was the dominant ''Keltoi Rìoghachd''. However, recently, from pressure groups in the capital and public opinion polls, the Poblachd has been dissolved and a Republic put in its place. King Cinaed abdicated and was quickly voted back as Ard-shuidhear, or President, Cinaed with very little diminished power but a Senate to answer to. | The largest Keltoi area, the seat of clan Kincaed is called ''Poblachd'', or 'The Republic'.

The Keltoi do not formally worship any gods but they have a rich and complex tradition of ancestor worship and revere the forces of nature. There are several festivals during the year, such as the Moon Festival, the Oak Festival and Ancestor Reverence Week. They don't worship spirits or totems, rather they reflect on such aspects as the aesthetic beauty of nature and their role in the cosmos. Their 'gods' and 'demi-gods' are mythical heroes. There are ancient tales of great Keltoi heroes being summoned from the spirit realms to help them in their times of greatest need. Their druids, who aren't religious in the strictest sense so much as followers of tradition, act as advisors, magistrates and sages and are greatly respected. There are almost no Keltoi divine casters, those that do exist, follow the druid code. | The Keltoi do not formally worship any gods but they have a rich and complex tradition of ancestor worship and revere the forces of nature.

Keltoi regard those who follow organised religion with some suspicion and while they allow such people in their lands, don't tend to listen to them as a whole. | Keltoi regard those who follow organised religion with some suspicion and while they allow such people in their lands, don't tend to listen to them as a whole. | ||
