Gaels are Humans, the second race born to the Mother Goddess Anu. Gaels live in a tribal society, ruled over by a warrior caste of kings, queens and chieftans. A tribe is composed of a number of chiefdoms, each presided over by a warrior chieftan. A king or queen who manages the affairs of the whole tribal domain rules the tribe and they in turn are subject to the rule of the Ard Righe at Taras, the High King of all the Gaels. The High King is always a man, for he is also the Sun God and Anu's mortal consort. Independent of this structure are the druids, who are lore keepers and judges in disputes between chiefs and kings or rulers and subjects.
