This is definitely something I would read about! The premise so far is really interesting. Unfortunately, I've never attempted to write on the foundation of a politically complex plot, let alone a historically accurate one, for a nation I'm not familiar with. I'd love to spectate, though. Best of luck!

Really appreciate this. I'm glad you like the vibe. I've been plotting it all day in an external document. (I usually do that to see if the plot actually holds up and creates something worthwhile... or if it just fizzles out and amounts to nothing. :lol) So far it actually writes itself. It has a certain formula going for it:

[color=a187be]Nathair doubts himself > He consults the spirits > The spirits give him a reply based on duality (good/evil) > He is reassured by Aoife that he will always make the right choice in the end; or "might makes right"[/color] --> [b]ACTION.[/b]

"∞" (And on and on until the arc closes and a new one begins.)

[b][i]Nerding out, but:[/i][/b]

It's also a lot of fun to see how this plot doesn't need many "logical" outcomes. A lot of Nathair's decisive moments revolve around him speaking to spirits/making sacrifices/or being reassured by his clan (mainly Aoife). So every time I get "stuck," I just have him re-engage in the theme of the story (Druidism/Spirits/Clan) and the whole thing reorients itself right back to where it needs to go. Feels like a [b]very[/b] reliable genre to write in.

Honestly, if I keep having this much fun with it I may just make it into a series.[/color]
