The Pictish Tribal Kingdom (AltE2)

The Pictish Tribal Kingdom is the dream of the Votandini tribe in AltE2 Map Game. At present they control the land west of Edinburgh

Trade
Presently the Votandini trade with most of the current Pictish Kingdoms: There is also ongoing trade with The Kingdom of Leinster in Ireland since 890BC and The Kingdom of Alba since 961BC
 * The Kingdom of Dundee since 1000BC
 * The Kingdom of Glaschu (or what is left of them) since 900BC
 * The Kingdom of Finach since 950BC
 * The Kingdom of the Epidii and the Kingdom of the Inbhir Nis since 910BC

The Lairds and Royal Family
The Present Tribal Kingdom is brought ruled over by three main houses all who bow to the King or Queen in Edinburgh
 * The Lairds of the South West descended from the original King of Glaschu and the Royal family of the Epidii intertwined take control of the Western islands and territory based in Glaschu
 * The Lairds Protectors of the Wall take the Southern and middle parts of the Kingdom with the main focus being the upkeep of the wall between the Pictish Kings and The Kingdom of Alba
 * The Royal family's relatives or the Lairds Votandini take the Eastern Kingdom and the land around its present capital Edinburgh

The Druidic Leaders
Along with the Lairds taking control of certain areas they mainly deal with the military sides. The druids themselves deal with the agricultural aspects and have organized families into valleys with each valley collectively farmed by all the families living in it who then split the produce equally to maximize output. They take a tax from every family 4 times a year at the solstices. This is then used to fund research and feed the druids for that year.

Religion
Religion is a polytheistic religion worshiping the nameless Gods of the Aspects of the Nature around them. Each main God has temples where they harvest the produce of that God's gift to us to trade and use in buildings but on top of this the druids have built 5 Great temples surpassing the other minor temples as a main basis for that aspect of the religion: The druids are ruled by a main council with represents from all the major temples. Each Druid must choose a main God to worship and work for by 30 and then takes wears a band sewn into his robe to represent his choosing.
 * The Temple to the Gods of the Sea (on mainland Orcas)
 * The Temple to the Gods of Stone (in Kilsyth)
 * The Temple to the Gods of the Forest (north of Glaschu)
 * The Temple of the Gods of the Sky and Knowledge (in Edinburgh). They do not worship any gods of knowledge but the Temple is known for that as the main source of writing and research.
 * The Temple to the Gods of the Lochs (in the middle of Lochness)

Military
At present there are three main armies in the Kingdom. Each house has control of one army. The Lairds Votandini and the Lairds of the South West each have 750 men (400 melee and 350 ranged) and 300 horses. The Lairds Protectors only have 500 archers. There are also guardsmen of 200 archers at each major temple except for the Loch where there are 400 due to the isolated location from the rest of the Kingdom.

There are also two navies each of 20 ships. One is stationed west in the new island fortress on the Isle of Arran and one east outside of Glaschu.

Finally there is a wall across the South of the Kingdom for defense if Alba ever falls to a new threat below with two fortress one at Glaschu and one at the Eastern edge to increase its protection. The capital at Edinburgh is also a fortress and a fourth is being built by Lochness for defense due to its isolated position and as a stationary town for the produce from the floating temple

King Cruithne of the Votandini (reigned ?-980BC) and the first King of the Picts (reigned 980-965BC)
Cruithne was the first King of the Votandini in records. He was the one who decided to start the unification of the Pictish Kingdoms and declare himself King or the Picts in 980BC. He also started the expansion west and opened the first trade links.

King Domnal (reigned 965-930BC)
Domnal had a hugely influential reign leading the expedition to Orcas when he was still a Prince. He continued his fathers dream to unify the Pictish Kingdoms bringing the Kings of Glaschu as Lairds under him in 961BC when expanding west. The druids also expanded hugely in his reign beginning three of the Great Temples
