==Galka==

[[Summary::A fierce wolf-like race displaced from their home.]]

===Personality=== 

Galka have extreme emotions when compared to the other races. When they are happy, they will laugh loudly and boast wildly, when they are angry, they go into a fierce rage. They are also known to be mournful of their society's fall from its pinnacle in ages past, though they will quickly try to busy themselves with other things to not fall into depression.

===Physical Description===

Galka do not have a gender, though most identify themselves as male. As a race, they survive through reincarnation, departing on a journey of rebirth once they notice that their time is short. Galka are very tall, averaging about 6'8" and are very strongly built. They tend to have fierce or serious features such as piercing gray eyes or elaborate beards. They frequently adorn any part of them they see fit, from head to tail, displaying scars as proud trophies of battle.

===Relations===

Galka get along passably with most of the races, even thought hey hold some enmity towards humans who treat them as a lower caste in their new home of Bastok. There are two exceptions, one for the better and one for the worse. Galka get along wonderfully with dwarves who share their affinity for mining and smithing and the two often grow to see each other as kindred spirits. There is one race which fill the galka with blind, seething rage: the Anticans. This race of monstrous humanoids are the ones who destroyed the ancient galka homeland, and every galka carries a burning hatred towards them.

===Alignment===

Galka tend to favor lawful alignments, though there are many chaotic and neutral galka. All are accepted as brothers by all galka.

Galka have no homeland of their own any longer. It was destroyed centuries ago by the Anticans. The bulk of galka now reside in the Republic of Bastok, cohabiting it with Humans.
