Line 8:
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. histhis lead to the development of the priesthood who watched over the island. As this island became a central meeting point for the Brigantines for religious festivals it also became an important site for trade and diplomacy between clans. Consequently the clans formed the elder council to manage disputes and issues affecting all Brigantines headed by the neutral High Priest.
