La Bretagne d'Irlande
La Bretagne d’Irlande est une île barbare et sauvage, découpée en cinq grands royaumes parsemés de clans instables et en guerre permanente. L’Irlande subit en fait toutes les difficultés inhérentes à un gouvernement tribal décentralisé. Le Haut Roi d’Irlande règne plus en nom qu’en fait. La renommée principale des Irlandais vient des pirates qui sèment régulièrement la terreur sur l’ensemble du littoral occidental de la Grande Bretagne.
