Man, what a shitshow. When I read in the local newspaper all those years ago that those guys were going to make a videogame "based" on "Celtic mythology", I didn't expect them to end up releasing an actual game. Most of the stuff I see in there is shit Galician nationalist kids these days would make up (like Samhain as a tradition, which it never was and noone had ever heard of it until the 90s, when we have always had our own traditions around that time of the year, but I guess the name's too Roman for them). Drawing fake petroglyphs in uninhabited areas and all that jazz. Being ignorant of when corn came to Europe by claiming that the ancient celts ate cornbread (which is a Galician traditional type of bread... but only since the 18th Century or so!), and just historical falsification in general. These types are always progressive (long gone are the days when they used to be fans of Adolf Hitler), which explains a lot of things.something they made up for the game for whatever reasonWhy is that tranny grey when the game is supposed to be historical?

can't believe this even has a wiki, a dev must have made it
yesAlso, is that a bowl full of eggs behind xir?
this has very, VERY little to do with celtic myth/history
The "mourians" (actually "mouros", you could translate it as "dark ones") are something that is from actual Galician folklore. They don't have anything to do with leprechauns, they are more akin to the Germanic dwarves (they inhabit barrows, have dark skin and red hair, and are excellent craftsmen). I don't want to go on a tirade about local politics, but that aforementioned group of people will make up all sorts of shit to establish a cultural link between Galicia and Ireland.
