Doing some research (reading Caesar’s Gallic Wars) - Did you have the Helvetii in mind for this? They seem perfect for it. The numbers could support up to 120,000 but we could easily halve that and be in line with RL history and still give a society a fighting chance, especially one like the Celts, unified and united in this strange, new world. Caesar says 268,000 Celts never made it back to the Helvetii homelands, but of course his numbers are full of shit. I favor a total migration of 100,000-120,000 of which half-ish make it home. Any more than that and the “generous supplies” Caesar forced the other local tribes to give the retreating Helvetii would have starved those tribes out as even Caesar makes a big deal about the lack of ripe corn or silage even for fodder. Caesar never really describes any massive battles, so while 10,000 or 20,000 may have been killed, its easy to get up to 60,000 coming thru to GW.

I need a separate timeline of events that happen on Garnia World (GW). When do elves evolve, major anthropoligical periods and whatnot, when did Dark Elves develop and subsq. when do the Darkness and the Light get involved. When and what type of other humanoids arrive and where? What is the steppe like when the Celts arrive? Who lives there?

btw, I am running outlines for 3 trilogies thru my head...once I get more details i’ll hammer out a rough thing a ma something....

Chap 1 of 1st tril will open with the Helvetii mustering for mass migration. Intro a couple chars at varied social level - young mother with family - young soldier - our religious seer - tribal leader - *********************
