- The Celtic peoples are defined as those groups that spoke a derivative of the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family. This definition encompasses many tribes which had no concept of nationhood nor any central authority, yet shared many technological, artistic, and philosophical ideas. On the continent, the expanding Roman Empire conquered various Celtic groups. Julius Caesar conducted a successful campaign against the Gauls and as part of that campaign invaded Britain in 54 B.C. but was unsuccessful in conquering the island. Ninety-seven years later the Romans invaded Britain again, pushing the Britons to the west (Wales and Cornwall) and north (Scotland). Hadrian's Wall was built beginning in 120 to protect the Romans from the northern Celtic tribes.

- Celts, normally pronounced /kɛlts/, is anthropological term used to describe any of the peoples of Earth who spoke, or speak, a Celtic language. The term is also used in a wider sense to describe the modern descendants of those peoples, both on Earth and its colonies.

| - Celt may refer to one of three groups of people:
* The Brythonic Celts in Cildania number around 20,000,000. They are considered the ancestor group to the different Rhaetan language families, Romance and Dundorfian.
* The Welsh are a race from Northern Dovani and they are also split into three further groups.
* The first live on the Great North Dovani Plain and very little is known about them. They do not communicate with the civilised nations of Terra and are believed to be have strictly kept to their traditional ways. There is an estimated two hundered seperate Welsh tribes on the Plain but their population is unknown;
* The majority of the second group was orginally settled in Dranland. There has also always been a small but stable community in northern Greater Hulstria. However a campaign of genocide by the Dranian government has all but extingusihed their numbers in the North. The majority of those who survived fled to Gishoto and Kazulia.
* The third group are the Welsh of Cobura in South-West Majatra. No historical record exists of the travel from Dovani to Cobura but ancient Welsh tales do refer to a great pilgrimage. The Welsh in Cobura are Hosian. Having fought on both sides of the Augustanii-Irkawan conflicts, the Welsh would be subject to forced migration inside the Augustanii Empire, and as a result two large populations centres for the Welsh remain in Cobura: Dilganato and Irkawa. The Welsh Celts speak the Welsh language, although most in Cobura, Dranland, Kazulia and Greater Hulstria are bilingual. (See Terran Language Families)
- The Celts are the nation of humans living on Gratogel. They came to Albion about 2000 years ago. They speak Celtic.
- Celts, normally pronounced /kɛlts/, is anthropological term used to describe any of the peoples of Earth who spoke, or speak, a Celtic language. The term is also used in a wider sense to describe the modern descendants of those peoples, both on Earth and its colonies. The ancient Celts themselves were a diverse group of independent, indigenous tribal societies that spread out across Europe and at their peak reached into Asia Minor. While similarities in language, artifacts, religion and social structures are known, each culture had its own language and traditions. By the modern era, many European cultures had been influenced by the Celts, who intermarried with local peoples. The Celts were most prominently associated with Ireland, Scotland, Wales and other locations in the British Isles, as well as regions of France and northern Spain. Many people of Celtic descent eventually settled in Australia and New Zealand, and also immigrated to the United States of America. Celtic culture, music, and mythology became widely popular in the 20th and 21st centuries, and remained so on Earth for centuries after. In the 24th century, the orphaned Timothy Sinclair used his Celtic heritage to fashion a cultural identity for himself. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "Heritage", "Midnight Clear", "Father to the Man") In the 5th century AD, the Pendragon ("people of the dragon"), a Celtic tribe in the west of Britain, formed an alliance with British Romans who foresaw the collapse of the Roman Empire, to create a stable "colony" which could withstand the turmoil to come. Within a generation, these Celts and Romans had begun to intermarry, and thought of themselves as "Britons." The colony, named "Camulod" fell by the year 542, but the survivors were transported to another planet by the Preservers (or their agents). Their story would give rise to many of the Arthurian legends. The truth would be discovered by Timothy Sinclair in 2384. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "The Once and Future King, Parts I & II") The original colonists of Aldebaran Prime were primarily of Irish and Australian heritage, and their descendants consider themselves modern Celts. (Star Trek: Pendragon, Kal-Dixas Spaceport)
- Celts are the people who come from the Areas of Europe which are in and around Britain, these are Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man in England and Brittany in France. There are also Celts in the Basque region where France joins Spain. The people of England were Celtic-speaking as well, and the people of the region had originally just as much claim to the term 'Celt' as any of the other aforementioned regions. Studies have shown that the people of the British Isles hardly vary at all, genetically speaking. Successive invasions by Saxons, Vikings, and Normans changed the English culture so today most English people don’t speak a Celtic language, don't have a Celtic culture and don’t consider themselves Celtic.

Ninety-seven years later the Romans invaded Britain again, pushing the Britons to the west (Wales and Cornwall) and north (Scotland). Hadrian's Wall was built beginning in 120 to protect the Romans from the northern Celtic tribes. The Romans never occupied Ireland, nor did the Anglo-Saxons who invaded Britain after the Romans withdrew in the 5th century, so Celtic culture survived more strongly in Ireland than elsewhere. Christianity came to Ireland in the 4th century, St. Patrick coming in 432. Many of the Celtic cultural elements integrated with Christianity. The most "religious" aspect of Celtic culture, Druidic practice, diminished, and many say that the Druids were systematically supressed and killed. However, many cultural elements lasted, including ancient oral stories which were recorded by Irish monks in both Irish and Latin.

The Celts didn't write things down. Most of what we know about life in Gaul (Modern day France) and Britain is from records written by the Romans and the Greeks. The Romans sought to syncretize the British gods with their own as a means of conversion into the life ways of the average roman. This lead to the developement of the well documented Romano-Celtic period and religious practices. This article is a stub. You can help WikiPagan by [ expanding it].
