Like many tribes and peoples in the Pictish lands to the north of Britannia, the Muc tribe has no clear origin. For the purpose of clarity in game however we're saying that the Muc tribe rose with a distant ancestor of the current Chief, Gartnait, defeating a presiding Chief and then coming to rule over the Chiefdom. The Muc tribe has long followed the practices of Celtic Polytheism, looking to the groves, oceans, rocks and other natural elements for communication and connection with the spirits.
The Muc tribe today rules over the Pictish lands north of Hadrians Wall along the coast. For many generations the Muc tribe has sat at the Chiefdoms seat, seeing many great changes from on and over Hadrians Wall. Some elders will remember when their grandparents told them of the men who called themselves Romans that patrolled that wall that now lays in ruins, forgotten to many. The father's of the Elders would remember the times when the Britons sat at the other side of that wall, what was left of the Brigante tribe that was crushed by the Romans had returned and used the fertile soil behind Hadrian's Wall and the wall's defenses to set up a thriving community. Elders would remember when the Germanic men from far away lands came and slaughtered the Britons, burning their stone buildings and erecting wooden ones. The history that the Muc tribe has seen has been vast, yet the history of the Muc tribe and the Pictish lands it holds remains rather stagnant over the generations.
The Muc tribe has often used its ability to conjure up good strategic thinkers and good warriors to fight off any intended invasions by the Germanic peoples who have become more hostile to the Picts over the past few years. The Germanic peoples intend to take much of the land that the Picts hold valuable, to convert the lands to their religion and by the Pictish perspective, to enslave the local populace. In retaliation the Picts have long used cunning and tactics to stop invasions and to perform raids and counter-attacks on the Germanic side of the wall, otherwise known as the Angle side of the wall. From the Broch the Muc tribe conducts all business within the Chiefdom, from observing the defenses of the Pictish settlement to hearing the appeals of the Chiefdom's people to the Chief, who is currently Gartnait map Muc.
