Wales was the one who thought about creating a Celtic club for the Celtic nations to hang out, share culture and protect their culture. Ireland thought that was great and helped him co-found the club.

The club is called the Celtic League. It includes Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall, Brittany, sometimes Northern Ireland and Sometimes Nova Scotia. But Nova Scotia rarely can join due to being very far.

England and France are both banned from it.

Activities can include music jam, dancing although Ireland is a pro at it, food exchange, drinking, lot of drinking. Gaelic football and Rugby. Highland Games.

They usually speak their own language but with some, it's difficult because they aren't mutually intelligible but Wales is usually a great translator.

Wales usually hosts the meetings since he's in the middle. Maybe 60% of the time. 30% it's Ireland and the last 10% is shared between the rest.

Sure! The only artwork I have of her is this, that I commissioned @ifindus for.

But I do also have her sim, which was made ages ago.

She doesn’t have her eye patch in the second image bc I didn’t have a CC one downloaded at that point.

And I also have her Pinterest board~

Day Three - Betrayal

The history between Cornwall, Dumnonia and Wessex is pretty messy and confusing, as far as I've been able to see. Dumnonia (known as Dumnones back then) had been around since roughly before the arrival of the Romans, living in the south-eastern part of Great Britain. I haven't yet completely figured out when Cornwall appeared, it was probably during Roman Britain but his origins are a bit muddled for me since apparently three different Celtic tribes in Great Britain decided to go by Cornovii!! Well he was probably of the Cornovii tribe that was a sub-tribe to the Dumnones tribe... I still need to work out the details of this. Wessex was born after Rome left Great Britain. But of course, his origins also confusing! He was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom... but his founder Cerdic had a Celtic Brythonic name? And some of his alleged descendants after him also had Celtic names?? It's brought up a few questions about how Wessex came to be, maybe he was a Celtic-Saxon hybrid kingdom that eventually became more Germanic over time? At least, the argument can be made that Cerdic and his family were most likely native Celtic Britons, even if Wessex would later try to rewrite that part of his history and try to pretend his founder was a Saxon.

In any case, I can very well imagine Wessex coming into existence being both a Celtic Briton and a Saxon, though over time he thought less and less of his Celtic roots. He coexisted with his neighbouring Celtic kingdoms, until the day in the 6th century he decided he wanted to expand his territories. He turned on Dumnonia and would fight her for several decades for control of her lands. Dumnonia initially was able to fight him off, but little by little, Wessex gained control of her lands and around 813-822, it's thought that Dumnonia fell. Cornwall for a short time survived as a rump state of what was Dumnonia's territory, but he too would start to be invaded in the 880s by Wessex. No written records from this time say when exactly Dumnonia and Cornwall lost their independence to Wessex. We only have small glimpses of records showing Wessex fighting the Dumnonians and the Cornish and then later glimpses of these territories being assimilated into Wessex's kingdom. We don't know if written records did exist and were destroyed/lost to time, or they simply were never written down. It does seem odd though, having nothing official from Wessex confirming his successful conquest of Dumnonia.

In terms of what happened to the personifications, Dumnonia was eventually killed by Wessex. Kind of. She was reborn into Devon, an English county who has no memories of having been a Briton Celt originally. Her only Celtic legacy is her name. Cornwall was spared when he was conquered, but seeing what he would have to go through in the later centuries, we could ask if it was a kindness on the part of Wessex. I wonder if my choice of the theme "betrayal" is a bit flimsy here, since Wessex's contact to his Celtic roots seems also pretty flimsy. But I liked the sketch too much to let it go, so I stuck to it. Besides, I do think the theme of "betrayal" suits Wessex pretty well, if my interpretation of his later mass-fratricide of the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms is something to go by.

Wales what's the longest place name in the UK

Wales// And a really funny place too. Especially when tourists try to pronounce it.

This is silly and I was hoping to write something longer, but I felt like writing fic with ocs in it so… got the prompt from @otpprompts

Okay so the story features my Cork oc, Finbarr, and @randomgirl40 ‘s Cornwall oc, Jenna. Oh, and Myles is her Devon. Hope you like it ^^;

Jenna supposed a trip to A+E was a bit drastic, but the nice website had said if she received burns to the face then it was best to get help. She wasn’t sure if that counted burns one received by being punted in the face with a hot stargazy pie, and oh boy was she getting Myles back for that one.

It had been a terrible accident, she’d be the first to admit. Myles had been aiming for the open window. Of course, it was, nonetheless, a very grave insult to her and her cooking and he had every right to be looking flustered as he explained their situation to the receptionist- who was most likely trying to calm him down and convince him there was nothing wrong with her.

Honestly, Jenna didn’t see the point in all the fuss. She could have easily stayed at home with her face buried in some frozen peas.

“Make sure you keep yourself sat upright, like,” came a voice from beside her.

“Huh what?” turning, she found a young man about her age with some stupid grin on his face and a bleeding ear. He had a throaty accent, maybe a little high for a guy, and a thick rural Irish accent. Between that and her West Country one, communication between them might be a little difficult.

“It stops your face from swelling, sitting up,” the strange man pressed, “don’t go lying on your back now or that’ll make it worse.”

“Oh, thanks,” she threw him a smile. Jenna had to guess she knew what he was talking about- the guy’s neck was practically covered in old burn scars.

“So what happened?” No ‘if you don’t mind me asking’, just blunt and straight to the point.

“My brother there threw a pie in my face,” she explained.

“What a terrible waste of pie!”

“I know right? And stargazy pie is so hard to get right too.”

“Maybe not such a waste...”

“Hey!” Jenna huffed, “and why are you here then?”

“My pet donkey tried to steal my cabbage off me and we got into a fight.”

“And it bit you in… the ear?”

“There are worse places to receive a bite off a donkey.”

Jenna raised an eyebrow. “You sound like you’re talking from experience.”

The stranger paused. “Maybe I am.”

Okay then. “How did you get those burns on your neck then?” They seemed to be from multiple occasions, rather worryingly.

The guy shrugged. “I just have a habit of catching fire. I’m Finbarr, by the way.” Like you do. He said it so calmly too.

“Jenna, and what the-”

“Hey is that your brother?” Finbarr pointed discreetly, and sure enough Myles was waving over at her.

“So I can go then,” Jenna announced cheerily, “well, it was nice meeting you, Finbarr, hope your ear gets better and you and your donkey can make up.”

“Ta, hope your face heals, and you get to make a new pie.”

Jenna laughed at that. “Thank you.”
