== History ==
The nation started as a collection of tribal-esque territories governed by a head family with related branches and allied families forming the clan underneath them. Clan territory was seen as sacred and the lives of those who worked and died on it beforehand were venerated. This practice came from the belief that the ancestors of the clans worked hard and died so that their descendants could find an easier and happier life. These proto-ancestor worship practices combined with the Ademarist beliefs the clans brought from Yasteria and formed the syncretic religion ‘cumhachd na Gàidhealtachd,’ the ‘power of the Highlands.’ The clans believe that they are blessed with the wisdom and prowess of their forefathers so long as they are pious enough and that when they die, the God-On-Urth will allow them to help their descendants in the same manner.
Line 116:
Relations between clans were not always cooperative. It was common practice in the 14th and 15th centuries for certain clans to form rivalries and devote resources to one-upping each other, or even outright warfare. The High King would usually mediate these disputes, but if the coalitions of clans were too powerful or if his own clan was involved, events would usually result in bloodshed. These periods of warfare are what have given the Bloodied Clans their name; the Compact forbids the extermination of any clan by another, so defeated clans always rebuilt and became stronger.
