History[]
Cúige Chonnacht (also known as Chonnacht, Connacht, or Connachta) was the third county created in Ireland. It opened its doors to immigrants on 21 April, 1457. Initially it consisted of three towns; An Gort a forest town, Baile Locha Riach, a lake town and Baile Átha Luain, a lake town. Galway, the future site of the Capital of Cúige Chonnacht, is unincorporated and yet unbuilt.
Location[]
Cúige Chonnacht is located in central-western Ireland, to the north of An Mumhain county. Cúige Chonnacht was unique for some time its geographic location in that it was the only county in Ireland to have just one road in and out. Although this remains true, since late 1460 a road connecting Baile Átha Luain to a natural port a day's walk to the southeast connects Cúige Chonnacht to Port Làirge via river. Nevertheless, An Gort remains the gateway to Cúige Chonnacht and its primary hub, and so maintains a strong military presence.
People[]
Cúige Chonnacht attracted many players tired of the conflict between An Mumhain and Laighean counties. With old players and new players alike, Cúige Chonnacht has a decidedly tolerant and independent attitude and is protective of its good fortune.
