I'd argue that specifically the Reachmen sect of the Breton race resemble the Celts and the Britons. Their names seem to be based off of that culture and also the fact that their territory has been conquered by a powerful civilized people and they live in the hills and engage in guerilla warfare. This is very reminiscent of the relationship between the Romans and the British tribes. The Reachmen harbor a deep hatred for their Nordic overlords who came and slaughtered and raped and who still hold domestic Reachmen who live alongside them to much much lower regard and standard of treatment.
