OOC:

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.) So far it actually writes itself. It has a certain formula going for it:

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. --> ACTION.

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

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 I need it to go. Feels like a very strong/reliable genre to write in. Honestly, if I keep having this much fun with this I may make it into a series.

It's the best feeling when a story you're working on manages to write itself! Having it flow really easily and that freedom to tap into more supernatural and thematic elements to reach outcomes must be really satisfying. Will you delve into the lore behind the spirits and what drives them to consistently help Nathair in this pattern? (even if some attempt to misguide him) It's a pretty nice blend of realistic fiction and fantasy; I'd love to know more.

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!
