Galatea, located in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus near the border with the Leicester Alliance, is the domain of House Galatea.

Profile[]

The majority of the County of Galatea is a frigid wasteland. A severe famine afflicted the region in the early 1170s.

House Galatea is a branch family of House Daphnel and descends from the hero Daphnel, one of the Ten Elites who fought in the War of Heroes. After House Daphnel became divided over an inheritance feud, half of the family defected from the Leicester Alliance to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and established House Galatea, which was granted the title of count. While members of House Daphnel have not borne a Crest in several generations, House Galatea has been more fortunate. However, the family has recently fallen on hard times due to how poor their territories are in regards to the growth and maintenance of agricultural resources. To help the family gain these needed resources, gain greater influence, and survive into the future, the current Count Galatea seeks to marry off the sole Crest bearer of the family, his daughter Ingrid. Ingrid was betrothed since birth to Glenn, the eldest son of Rodrigue, the Duke of Fraldarius. However, after Glenn's death in the Tragedy of Duscur, Ingrid's father has searched for other suitors that might improve House Galatea's fortunes.
