Scottish Highlanders in golarion?

[Nicos]

What would be (if it exist) the closest thing to the highlanders?

[Orfamay Quest]

What do you think the highlanders are?

[Echo Vining]

Generally, Celtic culture on Golarion was old Sarkoris. But then the Worldwound happened, and that's not working out so well anymore.

[nighttree]

I use Old Sarkoris as well. I still include descendents of the old clans as the majority of the peoples living at the edge of the world wound...and scattered in other nearby regions as well.

Isn't that how just about everyone plays a dwarf?

Sadly, yes. I've never figured out whether it's because of Bob Salvatore or Ray Feist (or a combination of both).

It does seem the convention that dwarves are based on those people "north of the wall" after all If Emperor Hadrian decided to build a wall to stop them coming south to sell Haggis who am I to argue?

perhaps though considering dwarves have an association with runes perhaps their roots should perhaps be more Norwegian/Danish (Viking??)

The whole mines and beer angle (and the beards) makes them seem quite German to my eyes.

Well we do have a few dwarves here. Our main national saga is about a chap who learns smithing from a dwarf.

(key sound music "Ride of the Valkyries" or my favourate "Entry of the gods to Valhalla")

This wouldn't have something to do with a ugly dwarf who steals gold and legs it to his cave pursued by three "mildly upset" woman would it?

The words Richard Wagner, horned helmets and "the fat lady sings" come immediately to mind vbg

Great, next thing they'll wear brown shirts and build tanks to invade nearby countries...

[Kajehase]

Oh come on, who hasn't invaded and despoiled Poland at some point in their history?

[magnumCPA]

I thought Northeastern Brevoy could serve as the highlands. Mountainous and full of dwarves.

I'd give as much blame to World of Warcraft and it's amazing number of "Save the Beer" quests.

I also forgot to Mention the BAGPIPES! a cat going through the mangle sounds more musical!

As the comment about invading Poland may I point out the role the Polish winged lancers played in the siege of Vienna and perhaps more importantly polish decoders managed to sent an Enigma Machine secretly to Bletchley Park and Help establish Ultra which I believe is said to have shortened the war by two Years

Surprised there isn't a kilt related joke in this thread already.
