History |
The Foe still tell tales of what it was like for their ancestors to face Gallae on the field of battle. Immense herds of gigantic beasts. Trees which would grab you and swallow you whole or tear you limb from limb. Stones that would draw you down and silene you. Insects which would drain you dry or sting you to madness before letting you die a painful death. Survive all of that, and you faced the fifteen-foot-tall giantess and an army of boars, her massive arrows able to cleave one in two while she smoked a cigar with her free hand. This woman helped make the Dreadnoughts. |
|
Relations |
The short version is Gallae doesn’t get along with anyone. The long version is she gets along with her cousin, Gaea, occasionally with Ululani, and most often with Antelle, though that was a frosty one at first. Gallae is uninterested in cities and city life, and is focused on the places beyond them, untamed, wild, and needing protection from the ravages of the Dread Hordes. |
|
Centers of Worship |
Despite this, Gallae has a magnificent temple on Zefir, which only a few ever visit in any given year. It is said the Emperor is a devotee of hers, and as that is the only Temple to her in any city, he stays there. Gallae’s Shrines are all over the place, and she is known to frequent them in disguise. |
|
Followers |
Gallae’s followers tend to be hunters and woodsmen, folks in steadings and hamlets, those who seek to find a way to live in the world away from walls. She likes it that way. |
|
Personality |
Gallae is a regal woman, with tight black curly hair kept short, a penchant for trousers and plaid patterned shirts, and a mistrust of other Powers That Be except for her Wife, Lamia. Gallae is said to resemble Gaea, in that she tends toward middle age in most encounters and adopts a gruff personality that is quite different around her spouse. |
