Black haired and favouring plain helmets, the Cimmerians inhabited the bleak hills and dales south of the snow-girt mountains of Asgard and Vanaheim.

The Cimmerians had an ancient feud with Vanaheim and often raided northern Aquilonia and Hyperborea.

After considering the various Celtic armies, I have based the Cimmerians on the Picts.

Cimmeria was allied with Asgard and the Western Free Companies. No Cimmerian banners are recorded but they probably followed some rendition of animal totems.
