Clan Thomond Brief history: The Dál gCais clan, pronounced Dalcassian in English achieved their highest peak in the 1100’s in our timeline when they founded the Kingdom of Thomond. but in this one as random chance had it they got bigger way earlier and had no one strong enough to oppose them. In our timeline the Norman conquest of Ireland and various internal power struggles crushed any chance of this kingdom from expanding as it destroyed them entirely. Below is the map of their kingdom before it fell. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dromoland Castle had just been completed, the seat of House Dál gCais for generations to come. Cathal Dál gCais sat in his chambers plotting. He had ambitions to turn all this land he and his supporters just took into a proper kingdom, he had a castle but was not yet truly a King, only a chieftain and he would need to proclaim himself King but first he needed legitimacy. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a messenger knocking on his door. “Sir I have important news from the O’Neil Clan. Their chieftain wishes to marry their daughter to your son, what shall I tell them is your answer?” the messenger said with haste. “Tell them I accept their proposal, our families must join together for our sakes and for the sake of all of Ireland and her future!” Cathal exclaimed with eagerness showing across his face. Cathal left his castle in haste and headed for Limerick he must inform his son and his wife and start preparing right away. Hours later he was sitting in a gathering hall drinking ale and mead with some of his patrons. When another messenger came in. This time with news from the emissary in Cork with the Empire. The Chieftain was given a note that the Empire had agreed to give up its claim to cork and would formally give it over to Chieftain Cathal of the Dál gCais clan. In exchange trade would be established between the two and he and all the people of his land would agree to a non aggression pact. As well that anyone who stayed in Cork would be given full citizenship into the clan. “ I accept these terms, make sure they know this immediately.” Cathal said The agreement was fulfilled and put into affect as soon as both parties consented and the Empire had 2 weeks to move its possessions it wanted to take back to the mainland. Cathal reveled in these two giant strokes of luck that had befallen him, first his house was to be joined with the leading clan of the neighboring clan, then the last remaining piece of Ireland held by foreigners was given directly to him without a drop of blood spilled. He now had everything he needed to be king falling right into his lap. Though he still knew that could fall apart at any moment and that he needed to remember what he would be if he wasn't who he was. So in the meantime he went about doing good deeds for anybody who needed help throughout his lands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actions -City of Cork & surrounding territory held by the Empire is occupied, and their offer to set up an embassy in Cork is accepted - [9/25] AP into a business - [1/15] RP into Crossbows

Gaelic Concordat 2103 High King Cillian is sitting on his throne holding court listening to complaints. The court had been dragging on for hours. Each request and complaint as boring as the last. The High King yearned for some exciting news or event. The Gods answered him, a Naval officer enters the room and approaches the High King. “Your grace, news from Admiral Páraic O’ Connor” The officer hands the High King a small envelope. Cillian quickly opened the message and read it over a couple times, cracking a small smile before handing it back to the man. “Tell the admiral to dispatch a signal saying we accept, do not keep them waiting” With that the officer turned and left the throne room. In another part of the city in a newly built Library, The Great Library as it will be known. A few of the Librarians got to work finding copies of Irish legends and Gods. These books would be have many copies. They along with the High King and his Elders were working to get the population to believe in such Gods as Fionn mac Cumhaill, Cú Chulainn, Dagda, and Lir. And his children Aed,Manannán, Manannán had a daughter named Niamh. These are just a few of the gods. But a list of these such Gods and Goddesses and many many more would be compiled. In time the People of An Domhain would even come up with new Gods and Goddesses and be added to their Pantheon, and one day their Gods would be known across the galaxy. (Grand Library with 3 floors and two basement levels. upon its completion Circa 2103) In other news it has been confirmed that colonizing is going well, all across the four continents the Gaels are settling in and getting to work building a new, and better world.
