1. Druid - Dang, me and my druids are pretty wild. We know so many verses because that’s just what we do. It’s us and the knights that run this island. Yeah sure they have shiny armor and look cool, but we know all about the gods. Last week, I was fishing for my druid squad (the boys, let’s call them) and I sacrificed some stuff to the river god. Then I caught a huge fish. Praise be the river gods, we eatin’ boys! But man, these Romans are trying to come up in here and tell us about the gods like we don’t know! I was doing a public sacrifice to our war god and then a Roman soldier tells me to call him Mars? I went to druid school for like 20 years; this is an outrage! The boys have been running this part of Gaul for centuries with fair and just interpretation of divine omens. Did we do something to anger the gods and let our people get conquered by these smelly dudes in sandals? It was a big deal for me to leave my warrior obsessed family and go to Briton to learn the ancient ways. So much was sacrificed to now have everything I know be turned upside down by these Caesars, who impose their own traditions as a means of control, not reverence. Damn these conquerors! They know all our laws now too because a few of them can write in Greek. While it is interesting to talk about their priests about the Odyssey, it is clear that they take that story way too seriously. Apparently they think that they all are descendants of a god and therefore have an ancestral right to take our land, which is crazy because we also pretty much think the same thing.
