Born to a nomadic clan, Galea has only known travel since he was little. As his family would come to a new area, they would stay long enough to gather what information they could about the town's specialties; be it carpentry, cooking, farming, or fighting before moving onto the next town. This enabled the members of his clan to be rather adept in many different skills and also enabled survival through tough times. Meeting new types of people and creatures every few months enabled Galea and his clan to become adept at reading situations and people's hidden emotions.
Like the other boys and girls, Galea was taught from a young age how to traverse the land, how to hunt, to hide, and to fight. The training was a mix of all different cultures but mostly used the shadows to hide in, attack and disapear, repeating as necissary.
Seeing the strength of some of his family, Galea wanted to grow as strong as he possibly could and choose to undergo the last training regime available. Galea would leave his clan to train alone for 4 years, traveling the land. He must continue to gather useful information and at the end of 4 years he must be able to track down his clan on his own and then fight the weapon's specialist to prove he has grown enough to return.
Galea set out after saying his farewells and gathering supplies at the age of 19. He spent the next year traveling around and training on his own before stumbling upon the small village of CrannMeigeall in Fangorn Forest. It was one of the smallest villages he had come to yet the strength of its warriors surpassed that of even some of the largest nations. He decided he would stay here for awhile and learn what he could and grow with these warriors. In time he grew to view Fangorn as his second home, but while he was away on a mission tragedy struck. A large invading army struck from the south and nearly destroyed the village and all but its strongest warriors who were forced to retreat.
Upon his return he was able to track down his comrade Tári Tinehtelë who informed him of the situation and advised him to head north to warn their allies while she would stay to rebuild Fangorn. He didn't like the idea, but he knew that he was better needed elsewhere and that without the support of the neighboring realms, all would be lost. Galea soon set out and spent a year in travel seeking out new allies. Unfortunately he found few who would head his words.
Eventually the 4 years came to an end and Galea returned to where he last saw his tribe. He managed to reunite with a few members and learned of their current location. Unfortunately the townsfolk were in danger from a nearby fighting group and he was needed here.
Over the coarse of a year he and a few other warriors met together and formed The Glass Lands to protect the area from the invaders. Scythe took command of this group with Galea serving as his 2nd in power. The new realm grew and formed alliances with the nearby realms. In the north was The Northern Steppes and to the west, MittleMarch.
