**A-I  The Principality of the Caturiges**

The [[Westerling]] tribe of the Caturiges (battle-kings) regained their independence after the fall of the [[Ardean]] empire.  Although their royal family was wiped out by [[Dengwur]], they chose a new one under the direction of the Druids of [[Choir Morag]].  These druids also helped them to regain their independence from [[Dengwur]] during his war with the Old Ones.

By religious tradition, each district of the tribe will have 10 hamlets and 1 chief's Rath (fortress) Each district can be considered a market class VI for trade.   The only larger settlement is [[Seatun]] and the nearby Prince's fortress, which together count as a Market Class V settlement.  The land is mostly self-sufficient and does not engage in much trade or large-scale production. 
 
Each district will have 800-900 families and will be ruled by a chief who will be 4th to 7th level.  There are 15 districts in the Principality, two of which are the Princely Districts, ruled directly by  [[Prince Gerdun]] (Fighter, level 9) himself (the one around [[Seatun]] and the one immediately to the south).  [[Choir Morag]] is a druidic sanctuary on a holy island in the sea.   The High Druid Council meets here and helps guide and protect the principality.
