It is better to think of the Brigantines as a civilisation rather than a single nation. The many Brigantine clans feud with one another and have independence in all matters. The only rules adhered to are respect for the High Priest, the Priesthood, and the capital city - the holy site of Brigantia as neutral territory. There is an organisational body above the clans, although to refer to this as a government would be incorrect. The Elder Council, led by the High Priest oversees matters affecting all Brigantines.

== Pre-History ==
The Brigantines are descended from an ancient group of semi-nomadic sheepherders who inhabited the fertile plains. Brigantia, a local goddess came to the Brigantines and showed them how to survive. The Brigantines thus founded themselves as a new tribe taking on the name of their patron goddess and formed a pact with her. This pact referred to as the Watcher's pact. It is the rules by which the Brigantines live. In exchange for following this pact, Brigantia offers her protection to the Brigantines and their flocks. Brigantia is said to have sank into the lake after given her pact, upon this happening a mound is said to have risen out of the ground and holy spring water to have come forth.
This spring serves as one of the holiest sites of the Brigantines and on this mound the Holy City of Brigantia was founded.

''This speech was handed down by oral tradition and was given by Brigantia to the ancestors of the Brigantines before the construction of the holy city Brigantia in the place from which Brigantia emerged from the earth. Traditionally a Brigantine child will take the oath as soon as they can speak. This text was put into written form by the first elder council.''
