Why is The Morrígan's raven crying? Only Britons with hearts for true liberty know!

When the Romans came we found it easier to let them do as they wished rather than challenge them as many of our neighbors did – both here in Britain as well as our cousins in Gaul. As long as they were content to leave us alone, to let us worship Cuda in the Cotswold Hills or the Great Mother they call ‘Minerva Sulis’ out in the southwest of our lands, we could tolerate them, even profit from them at times. Unfortunately, Moira, trusting the Romans could also be risky business – as our cousins in the far east near the shores of the North Sea discovered a long time ago.”
