Kushiel's Legacy Wiki

The Cullach Gorrym, meaning black boar in Cruithne, were of the five Cruithne clans of Alba.

The Cullach Gorrym initially travelled to and founded Alba (modern equivalent of Scotland, England and Wales) from the east, thousands of years before the birth of Yeshua. As the oldest clan, they rule Alba under the leadership of the Cruarch in Bryn Gorrydum. In Kushiel's Dart, the clan is lead by Drustan mab Necthana.

The Cullach Gorrym are symbolized by the black boar. They believe they are the Earth's eldest children on the soil of Alba and that, because of this, the Cruarch must be from this group from his mother's side.
