Lore & History

General

The Galleria was described as an island of simple, relaxing beauty, and was used as a place of refuge and peace. On days when Dominus Thrax would feel sorrowful, the somber chill that permeated the Island was often used to ease the pain of any nearby citizens.

One notable feature of the Galleria were the numerous white marble statues that seemed to grow straight from the ground, Each statue bore a mask and an item or instrument that linked them to their presumed role. Some of the statues were named by Acrithis, such as Scribe, the Scryer, and the Shawzinist.

The Galleria's Sacrifice

As Acrithis was exploring the Galleria with a squad of escorting Dax, they witnessed a large, worm-like form erupt from the grassy field, blindly probing and examining the area around it. Acrithis believed it to be a giant worm or slug, however one of the nearby Dax pointed out that it had a large fingernail, and was instead a giant finger. Upon realization, Acithis immediately turned around and drove her carriage straight towards the King's Palace.

Upon hearing her account of seeing a large finger break up from one of the islands, Dominus Thrax panicked, and despite Acrithis' pleas, chose to sacrifice the Galleria to the Void in order to prevent more of the mysterious entity form emerging.

A Zariman tablet located within Duviri contains a single, multiple-choice question about the Galleria, insinuating that it was The Man in the Wall who attempted to invade the Island.
