I agree with Julie, just drop the specific elements of the Celtic religion and use the theory of it. Think of it as the philosophy behind the magic you are creating, and incorporate elements of your own imagination into it to create your own RP style of religion. For me, I always see druids as utilizing the concepts of nature in their faith and channeling those concepts to enhance their abilities as opposed to directly forcing changes in them like a Wizard or Sorcerer would. Outside of RP you can incorporate these same ideas in costuming, sticking with natural colors and layering while making sure your clothing is pragmatic as a druid would be spending a lot of time outdoors. I'm really excited to see new concepts begin to enter the world of Osterra! :D

Kailos nodded at the man's mention of others from the council. "Aye, tis a small world to be sure. I hope you found them as good of company as I did. I am glad you are willing to journey with me! While I do enjoy a good fight, I prefer ones I can win and it helps to have company in that regard." Pausing a moment, the warrior mulled over his next response. "Stories for me are fewer than you might think. I, like many of the council, do not come from this world. I come from another, far less magical realm. That being said, I have little memory of my time there. Over the past few months I have been trying different methods of recalling my past, some magical, some less so. All have been met with failure, and it has been a frustrating journey. Perhaps that will change, as there are healers who will be present at the tourney who may be of help in my quest." Kailos looked into the fire, seeming thoughtful and a little disheartened. Shaking himself, he turned again the Grisson, this time with a smile on his face. "I do have a few tales of my time in the northlands though! It is a wild place full of dangerous beasts and far more dangerous mountain tribes. The latter however are only a danger if you cause them trouble, and are great fun to spend time with. My time with the Ka-Nar-Sey tribe was particularly entertaining. I stumbled across one of their hunters who had caught her leg in a crevice near a dangerous area of the wood. I helped her dislodge her leg and together we continued the hunt for a stag which had been her original mark before getting stuck. We stalked the beast for 2 days before finally bringing it down and it took us another 3 days to bring it back to her village. They threw a feast in our honor, and I learned much of their people's ways over the next few weeks." Grinning at the memories now running through his mind, Kailos glanced back at Grisson to see his reaction. "If this sort of adventure interests you at all that is. I am not one to waste another's time with tales they may not be interested in. What I find entertaining can oft be mistook for rather mundane experiences, so by all means I can stop boring you." He took another draft from his tankard.

Listening to Grisson attentively, Kailos took note of the strange moment that passed across the man's face, but said nothing. "Think nothing of it friend. As I said I have my own motivations so to speak, for if you travel to the tourney as I do, then it would benefit me to keep in your company. Only this afternoon I was attacked by some rather vicious creatures and barely escaped with my life. A warrior such as yourself would prove a useful addition to my travels, if the fancy takes you. While I have bought you a drink you owe me know allegiance to the decision is up to you." Taking a long draw from his tankard, Kailos used the moment to gather his thoughts for the ensuing conversation. Leaving half the ale remaining, he wiped the foam from beneath his nose and continued. "As for my knowledge of the tourney and the orbs, I actually have some involvement in that. A few weeks ago I was privy to a council held by others like me, individuals who came to this world from others through portals of various types. I know this may sound mad, but often times the truth is like that. In either case, it was proposed to hold a tournament in order to determine the worth of warriors from all casts and creeds. Those who show valor and honor themselves through the glory of battle will be the first to be offered a place in the court of this newly founded kingdom of Nova Regnus." After this impassioned speech the warrior paused and then, realizing he had missed a key question asked of him, smiled sheepishly, "As per your first question, my name is Kailos. I am a warrior from a land far from here, a wanderer of the Northern Barrens, and a member of the Council to the King of Nova Regnus."

Grinning at the enigmatic newcomer's bravado, Kailos called over to Bartimus. "I'll pay for this man's use of the fire sir. It happens we are both headed to the same place, and after my dealings today I can't help but think the fates have smiled kindly on me." To emphasis the seriousness of his intent, the warrior pulled from his coin purse another few coins and placed them on the table next to the empty plate and tankard. "If you'd be so kind as to bring a pitcher of ale for me and this confident fighter, I'd be most grateful." Still glaring at the stranger Bartimus eyed the coin, torn between making a point of throwing this hooligan back into the cold rain and the new beer barrels he so desperately needed. The battle between this two opposing wishes was short fought however, as he stomped over to the table and swept up the coins and empty plates deftly. Mumbling about travelers and their strange habits under his breath, he headed back to the bar to fulfill the order. The smile on Kailos' face did not wane, but his eyes were calculating as he looked back at the newcomer. "What is your name sir? And pray tell, how did you come to learn about the tourney?" He gestured to the chair next to his own, encouraging the man to sit.

Hail all! I am Kailos. I first lay eyes on the land of Osterra after traveling through a portal from a rather mundane world. New to the idea of magic, orcs, and essentially anything more than the medieval land of my origin, I have struggled to catch up with the beauty and danger in the place I now calls home. Having met with other travelers at the first Winter Council, I have set out on a quest to better understand from whence I came and to learn more about Osterra and the other portal travelers.
