    Introducing our name for the Celtic Holdfast - Dara Brae!

    What is Dara Brae?

    Dara Brae celebrates our Celtic Heritage by having the name come from both Irish and Scottish cultures.

    Irish word Dara - from the Irish word Mac Dara which means "oak tree". (Behindthename.com)

    Scottish word Brae - Lowland Scots for the slope or brow of a hill. (Wikipedia. org)

    So our holdfast name means roughly "oak tree by the slope of a hill". Our oak tree is the large Druid tree house which will be by a hill in SotA.

    Exciting stuff!

    How does this fit within SotA?

    Besides the tree house there is many things that come from Celtic lore and legends. Druids, stone circles, the small thatched roof village houses, Celtic knot on the Elven Cloak, and more.

    Our intention is to bring Celtic adventures and gatherings for all of the citizens on Novia. Stay tuned!

    Congrats!
    and dont forget it is a play off the name "Skara Brae" so it brings an element of UO as well! :)
