Druids were literate, but mostly Oral People, they didn't write down anything bc it's better keeping it to

Everything we know about them is from Romans

Julius Caesar is 1 such record!

In Gaul around 59-51 BC, Julius observed these Druids' writing..

In Gaul,Caesar wrote on Druids talking about them being:

Equal to Nobles & have their own Class, Structure & Hierarchy

(4-5)

Are in charge of Religious Events/ 1 we saw in #AssassinsCreedValhalla.

Druids were of the highest class in the Celtic Society

They consisted of both Men and Women.

(Highly likely #ACValhalla will have both NPCs)

Diff. classifications of druids:
-Bards
-Ovates
-Seers
-Philosophers
-Judges
-Teachers

They had hierarchy too

#Caesar wrote of Druids having a Hierarchy & they are thought to have diff. Color uniforms

ARCH-DRUID, wore gold Robes.

(Historic)

Ordinary Druids wore White, were Priests.

Recruits Wore Brown & Black

Women called Bandrui & have same rights as men

As high ranking officials, Druids (men or women) were able to lay down the law.

Any who opposed the Druid laws were punished as Criminals & this is where Druid Religious Practice came in!

Remember #ACValhalla's Glowcesterscire Arc? That burning man

? It's linked!

Druids used to be in charge of Ritual observances.

1 Such Ritual is done in Druid New Year= Samhain (AKA, Halloween, that #ACValhalla shows you by going trick or treating with Eivor

)

It's when human sacrifice happens & Julius Caesar has accounts of this too!

Caesar recalls "figures of immense size were 1 out of twigs they fill with living men & set on

" (YouTube)

The more Criminal these "Living men" were, the better the sacrifice for Gods!

Innocents were

too if none were

like

Cynon in #ACValhalla.

Why do this?

Druids believed in the idea of REBIRTH! This is where we get into #ACValhalla DLC Theories!

Caesar says "the cardinal doctrine they seek to teach is that souls do not die but after death, pass from one to another."(YouTube)

This gave me mad AITA vibes!Here's why

Caesar says Celts "Rule of life was in Britain & transferred to Gaul & those who study the subject more accurately, journey (back) to

to learn (Druidry)."(Religious)

CELTIC monk Brendan (500s AITA),in #ACValhalla journeyed back to Britain to learn from stones!=Druid!

"'Temples of the Druids' were quiet, secluded areas, like clearings in woods and forests, & stone circles (Stonehenge)"(Historic)

Caesar said Druids "have many discussions as touching the stars..(& about) powers of Immortal Gods."(Religious)

Relates to Brendan

#AssassinsCreed's #AssassinsCreedValhalla #DLC Theories: 1

Accuracy: Seeing facts in 10-11/15,Brendan in-game learned more at Stone Circles ie #Stonehenge about trajectory of Nature & the Gods (Isu),makes him a Druid in AC.

There's also meaning behind Title "Druid"
