Update 5: Selected paragraphs from Shawn Nangoilach's "For God and Country: Rise of the Celtic Knightly Caste"



The earliest mentions of heavy cavalry come from year 160 AD, when a unit of Cataphracts was commissioned in Cork. It was a change of the Celtic tactics, as before they favored swift raids of lightly armored horsemen. This unit was probably engaged with the Japanese equivalent in the Battle of Clover Field that occured later that year just north of Cork.



Scholars now believe that this mixing of heavy industry and warfare spawned some first parchment books on Economics, which would boost the income of the Celtic nation. Some believe that these mercantile ledgers were the first parchment books ever, having slowly begun to replace the clay tablets that were used by the Celts for millenia.



The true test of Celtic Cataphracts came in 320AD, when a strong army of Japanese Elephants, supported by some Cataphracts of their own, came against the city of Cork. Seeing the incoming horde, the combined force of Cork and Tintagel's heavy horsemen rushed forth. The outcome of the battle was a victory for the Celts, although Tintagel's unit suffered terrible casualties. By the end of the vicious engagement, the four-unit strong Japanese horde was reduced to about half a unit of Cataphracts.



Shortly after foundation of the settlement of Iona (in 360AD), we have the first recordings of a horse trade between Celts and the Carthaginians. It was the only record of peaceful confrontation, as subsequent meetings were on battlefield.



In the 5th Century AD, the old traditional codes of warfare were expanded upon to include the noblemen caste of Knights; they were sworn to uphold the values of Celtic spirit and to bring glory for the Horse God.

Some believe that this became the basis for jousting tourneys (first such was hosted to celebrate the foundation of the city of Rhondda on Horsehead Isle, in 460AD), and the strengthening of the Horse God's cult, which rather rapidly begun to shadow the cults dedicated to lesser gods of Celtic pantheon.



By the early 6th century, Celts have managed to overcome the lust for American blood and signed a peace treaty with them. The Celtic horsemen were still on the move however, moving northwards from Cork on a crusade to finally find and hopefully conquer a Japanese village or two.

However, by 600AD the crusading horsemen were recalled to Cork and Tintagel; it was evident that the American city-state of Chicago was in the way, and the Celtic senate did not wish to ruin the nation's reputation just yet.

It might be that city of Illauntanig was settled (c.620 AD) on the coast for the express purpose of preparing a coastal outpost that would provide the Celtic cavalry with transportation northwards along the coast. The location of the city of Satsuma was known to the Celts for ages, and thus provided the obvious target for the maritime forays of the Celts.



We know the exact date when the Celtic Republic became a purely monotheistic state; in the year 660, the 'Supremacy of Horse God' was proclaimed by the Senate, in which the Horse God became the sole figure of the Celtic religion, the other gods relegated to the niches of 'spirits' that governed the elements of the world (as the Celts of that time did not excel in purely scientific subjects). This in turn spurned the construction of Cathedrals and also incited some more religious of the subjects to try and codify the pslams and verses about Horse God.



It was that by 760AD the relations with the Germans normalized; the Celtic Republic was in the state of stagnation by that time. The 'Book of Treaties' from that year specifies that it was Celtic Senate itself that pushed for the treaty, mayhaps to lessen the burden on external affairs.



The most important was, however, the visit of the French emissary in Iona; it has been established, thanks to 'Book of Treaties' and 'Scripture of the Seas' that this meeting concluded in exchange of cultural and scientific knowledge; Celts acquired many manuals and even some specialists who were skilled in astronomical Navigation as well as principles of advanced Medicine.



It isn't mentioned in those two sources, but only in 'The Long List of Speeches' that Senator Gain have congratulated the Senate on establishing the alliance with the French. 'Long List' also speaks that the alliance saw a team of metallurgists and horse trainers sent to Paris.



The 'Book of the Sacred Horse' is probably the first concise Theology text on the Horse God's divine powers and omnipotence written by the Celtic abbot, McMulainn. The text is dated variously, but the carbon-dating narrowed the period to c.900AD.



It might be as well the codification of the Horse God's rituals and the surge in percentage of worshipping population that pushed the Republic to go to the war against the Japanese heathens after a brief cease fire. It was first time in Celtic history that a naval invasion would be undertaken; Caravels from Cork and Tintagel, loaded with zealous Knights, set sail toward Satsuma, the first of few such expeditions in the coming years.

This was also a significant date; it marked the shift from the roaming Celtic cavalry to more complex and diversified warfare, combining both the navy and the armies of the Republic.
