About the Historical Period:
The Dark Age Irish were renowned for their guerrilla-style warfare, favoring ambushes and hit-and-run tactics over pitched battles. They often fought in small warbands, harassing enemy forces with javelins and slings before closing in for hand-to-hand combat. These warriors were deeply tied to their clans and chieftains, fighting for honor, land, and survival in a world dominated by Viking raids and Anglo-Saxon expansion.
