A Few Words About Brittany

I realised that not everybody knows much about Brittany (which makes my stories a bit uncomprehensible...) so I decided to share my knowledge. Brittany ("Bretagne" in French and "Breizh" in Breton) is a small country in western Europe. Well, actually it was joined to France in fifteenth century and became French as it stays (unfortunately) until today. It has its own language and a very specific culture.

Symbols:
Ermine (left): In heraldry it represents a stoat (an animal from northern regions) which is a symbol of royality (and of Brittany as well).

Triskell (right): Some people still search for the meaning but the fact is that there is no meaning :) It's just a symbol. However, some people still believe that it's a "sign of celtness".
