La côte de l'Ouest

Ruler: Various Minor Chieftains.   Culture/Religion: Irish/Pagan.   Vassal of: No one.   Army: A few warrior bands.   The people of Dalriada were not the first Irish folk to come to Caledonia. For centuries a trickle of settlers have crossed the seas to settle the isles and bays of the west coast. When the Dalriadans arrived these people either joined them or moved further north, where they still hold land independent of Dalriada. They are called the Lardomnan and live in duns - sturdy stone forts that house a small village. They have no central authority. Each dun has its own ruler. However, when the situation demands it the duns form alliances to resist the raids of the Picts or the Attecotti.       A knight who visits this coast will find the people hospitable and friendly, but living in very uncivilized conditions.
