Galenica, also known as Samaantine, is a deity associated with armor, shielding, and protection.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
"Each step is heavy with dominance, they own this entire space, it’s overwhelming. No one else here has that power. You also feel safe when you see them." - Austin, "The Killing of the King-God Samothes By The Traitor Prince Maelgwyn"
Their appearance is crystalline, with a body like galena and eyes like sunset or fire opals. They are made of tall, basalt-like rocks, shaped in a way that looks too geometric and not chaotic enough to look like just a rock, looking like "somebody drew them."[note 2]
Origin[edit | edit source]
Galenica was created as a manifestation of the will of the people of Eastern Hieron, especially Alcyon. For a long time they protected the eastern shores from the powerful waves which eroded them. They are the only deity in the Samtheon who was not created as the result of a divine impulse.
They eventually left behind the coast in order to join Severea on the Grand Tour. They left one of their legs still standing on the coastline, and over many years, people gradually built onto it, building a colossal statue in Galenica's likeness.
Influence[edit | edit source]
Tineday is named after them.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Samaantine was originally conceived as female, and was referred to with she/her pronouns during Season 1.
- ↑ Originally described in Marielda 12 as looking like the rock is "cut into squares", with eyes like sunset opals "that almost look like they have clouds in them"; described again in Winter in Hieron 29: Slow Justice as above.
