Lords Of The Congregation

"FREEEEDOOM!!!!"
 The Lords of the Congregation are the national Chapter for all of Scotland and her scattered descendants. The LotC are an ancient Chapter with roots that predate the Roman Empire. Legends of fierce Pictish warriors which even the Romans and Vikings couldn't handle have their origin in the doings of the Kings of Alba.

== Facts: ==
-The KoA are loaded with history and their's is a robust culture of warriors, poets, leaders and survivors. 
-Traditionally divided into regional Clans, with Clan Macleod easily being the best known abroad, the Lords exists to further the interests of their homeland. 
-Scotland is a member of the European Union and has been an off-and-on 'client' state of Britain. The official stance of the Lords of the Congregation is that they favor Britain and the Knights of the Round so long as it serves their people best. The unofficial stance of the Lords is that if a huge comet where to strike Britain from the face of the earth, well, the Chapter wouldn't exactly be heart-broken...
-The Lords of the Congregation Chapter is one steeped in tradition and Lore and they still cling to their ancient Clan-system. However, the modern age has seen them adapt in peculiar ways - some members of the Chapter (usually immigrants) now have the Title of 'Outlander' bestowed on them, since they have no Clan heritage to give them an identity. In the last few decades, the number of these Outlanders within the Chapter has risen steadily, however the Chapter seems to be incorporating them well since the newcomers don't really have a problem with the Chapter's establishment. 
-Like the Tuatha de Danaan, the Kings of Alba follow their ethnic descendants wherever they go. The Chapter has established several colonies abroad, most notably in Nova Scotia.
-Thanks to Rosslyn Chapel, the Lords have strong ties with Knights Templar. Henry Sinclair, a famous explorer of the Templars who came to the New World, was also a member of the Congregation.
