The 3rd game in the Murran Chronicles series has to do with Gaelic folklore, as well as some aspects of the culture. In particular, one of the main characters in the game (a shop-owner) is a woman of Gaelic heritage, and I want her to be as authentic as possible. In creating this game I have done a lot of research into Gaelic folklore, mythology and culture, but I would really love to be able to have someone with a background (or who has extensive knowledge) to speak with. I want to make sure I get this character, and her souvenir shop authentic in-game. I don't want to get the character and the store done and then end up insulting an entire culture/heritage due to misinformation or my misunderstanding of things I've read on-line.
If anyone is interested in helping me with this, I would really appreciate you letting me know. I will be glad to give you credit in the game as "Gaelic Culture Expert", "Gaelic Consultant" or "Lead Gaelic Person" or however you'd like it listed.
Thanks!

Ciamar a tha thu?
I'll help if you don't get any better offers. My own knowledge is pretty limited...
Irish or Scottish or Manx Gaelic? :=
I only have one tip, and if you've played Jonathan Boakes's charming Lost Crown it'll make sense:
Don't give the shopkeeper a German accent.
I am looking for Irish. If I don't get any other responses, SSH, I will contact you :)
Thanks!

Hi poc301,
I'm Irish, and I'm into Gaelic culture and history.
Can I help?
I have a friend who is quite fluent in Gaelic, and is rather in love with the culture.
I can ask him if he would like to help out? :)
