Physical Description

Some originally used descriptions when she was more public was a women with silvery skin that seemed to reflect the rainbow always seen with a headdress of some sort covering majority of her face. She lives in the land with the people in many different forms though those who have seen her said she had the most entrancing eyes they've ever seen as if they were looking into the entire universe all at once.

History

Nitish though her methods different is the faithful younger sister of Brigain. She loved him dearly but could not handle his take charge methods and she hated to be out in the limelight. She decided to live in the lands with the people spreading her, genetic gift to create the changeling race. From her ability to change gender she could both carry children and supply others with them. It is said she shares her true location with no one but Brigain.

Relic

Galanus' Relic was stored in Karmen in the small political headquarters building the Church had there. When Galanus' priests fled the city as the dead piled high in Karmen, they brought the Relic with them to the Rakis Desert. The desert elves helped hide both the priests and the Relic from the eastern nations and the minions of Curiss. The centuries passed, and the Relic remained within the line of the original priests, passed from parent to child for generations. The last of the line died during the War of the Undead, and the Relic was thought taken by the minions of Demik Coruth. The Detonation of Lake Kiriath destroyed the desert, and scattered the army of undead warriors in service to the necromancer. The Relic was lost both to mortal and undead hands, buried beneath tons of rubble and earth – hidden, as Galanus would prefer it.

Church

Although it was once very organized, the followers of Galanus currently are a chaos of patient virtue. The majority of the Disciples, and many cardinals, are all Desolate that have adopted the former god of the dead into their faiths. The destruction of the Rakis Desert destroyed whatever temples and churches had been built to Galanus, and lost many of his few remaining relics and artifacts. The Church of Galanus currently bides its time, fending off the advances of Curiss and the ogran peoples, as well as providing concealment and priestly abilities to desert elves.

The only real bastion to Galanus is in Al Fahim, a desert nation of humans on the eastern end of Baroneth. The Sheik of Galanus there is a high priest – usually a Disciple – that answers to no Chosen, and leads both the desert elves and the red-skinned Destanae humans of the Gintala Desert.
