Man is based on Celtic, primarily Irish, mythology with a side-shot of Arthurian influence. That is very different from pure Arthurian for, although Arthurian legend was extremely influenced by the Celtic matter, the Christian and Norman French influences mutated it into something wholly its own. Both are worthy of respect as individual mythos, despite their simularities, and while I think it is fine to fuse them in the nation of Man, I also think it is important to know the differences between the two.

Did I mention I'm alarmingly prone to start talking about Celtic myth?
Now all we need is Chuchulainn as a national hero!
