"a revival of force among the Mae Tae confederation, a collection of tribal groups beyond the Antonine Wall" - is that a new spelling for "Maeatae", or just a typo? Too many Mai Tai cocktails in the Scotsman's office?

They're still on the continent with the Saxons, you're stuck with Picts and Irish
