Celtica

Welcome to the portal page for the Celtica ATL, a timeline in which the Celtic people remained strong and unified under a common banner in Ireland and Britain after the Roman Empire descended into anarchy. This lead to a series of events resulting in the creation of new nations and an entirely different history of Europe and the world.

Introduction
It all started with the survival of the Inceni tribe under Queen Boudica. After the attempted war on Inceni and the near kidnapping of her daughters, Queen Boudica swore vengeance on the Roman Empire. Tales of her fury and will reached the soldiers of Inceni, who fought valiantly against the Romans for decades until her death in 110 AD. The tales of Inceni's defiance against Rome spread across tribal Britain and even Ireland. Tribes looked up to Inceni. Even the Roman Empire saw the Inceni as formidable opponents.

Peace between Rome and Inceni endured. As Inceni grew in power, the Romans were tempted to trade with Inceni. In c. 400 AD, Roman Priest St. Patrick was allowed to enter the tribe to spread the Christian religion. While massively unpopular at first, Christianity began to flourish among the British and Irish tribes. When Britain was abandoned by the Romans, Inceni moved into the area to claim former Londinium, naming the city they once burned down 'Na Cathrach ag an Uisce'. After centuries of expanding and incorporating tribes into its lands, Inceni was renamed the Kindgom of Ollmhór. Ollmhór prospered as the Briton Kingdom in Western Britain became jealous. They declared war on and invaded Ollmhór. This war lasted for centuries, resulting in the near destruction of both Kingdoms.
