Good catch on the location! Even though I added the line to the excerpt, I didn't register the whole north-of-Ireland part. I suppose this might make sense as the Dal Riata region, though everything seems to be far too recent clothing/technology/culture to literally be Dal Riata.
(Dal Riata was around in the 6th-7th centuries as I recall, which would fit with the presence of Orick, but not much else. It's probably easiest for us to assume this is an alternate universe. Or, like in Stargate, someone kidnapped some ancient Scottish settlement and put them on another planet, and the "Ireland" isn't the literal one.)
