Galin was an elf that served as warden of Altand in the Misty Forest in the High Moor as of the late 15th century DR. He unfortunately became entangled in the schemes of the Cult of the Dragon.[1]
Personality[]
He developed something of an anxious personality due to the numerous burdens set upon his shoulders and secrets he was forced to keep.[1]
Relationships[]
Galin became an ally and of Neronvain, a leader within the Cult of the Dragon and the banished son of the elven King Melandrach.[1] Galin never became aware of Neronvain's true identity.[2]
The nervous elf had a pet raven that accompanied him on his travels beyond the borders of Altand.[1]
History[]
Some time during or before the 1480s DR,[note 1] Wyrmspeaker Neronvain and his green dragon ally Chuth assaulted Galin's village of Altand in the Misty Forest. Due to the death of an elven priest, Galin ascended as leader of the village. During the assault, Galin witnessed his wife killed before him and crumbled as a leader. He begged for mercy when confronted by Neronvain.[1]
To protect the surviving elves and prevent further destruction of Altand, Galin swore allegiance to Neronvain and his cause. The dragon cult leader left the village alone, and Galin was forced to live a double life as an asset of the Cult of the Dragon. He offered up information about the surrounding settlements in exchange for Neronvain's "mercy".[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Canon material does not provide a year for the Tyranny of Dragons storyline, but in a forum post, Greg Marks stated it was set in 1489 DR. However, the events of the Tyranny of Dragons are discussed in the novel Archmage, which is set in 1485/1486 DR and has events that necessarily put it after The Rise of Tiamat. Since this inconsistency has not been cleared up, this wiki will use the vague term "1480s DR" for events related to this storyline, though it is most likely no latter than 1486 DR.
