I2A

1. Although the Kingdom of Dublin controlled nearly all of Ireland and Wales, there were still fringe areas that had yet to be fully brought under control. These lands, peopled by the "Free Clans" or "Wild Irish" went about life much as they had before the coming of the Norse. They became a rallying point for people dispossessed from their homes due to political, religious or social upheavals. The Borderlands had been quiet at the Height of the Kingdom's power, but during the Seven Years War they began to again raid and attack the lands of the Marcher lords.

The Norse Lords who came to settle in this borderland where a hardy lot, and had much in common with their ancestors. Years of fighting with the clans had hardened them until they were some of the fiercest warriors in the House of Submission, if not all of Europe. However, the Seven Years War, and the subsequent conflicts so depleted this class, that within twenty years they finally ceased to exist for all intents and purposes.
