Angasa and Galinia was once (A very long time ago) one state, a major Celtic homeland, under the auspices of the Briganda family. However, it has never been stable, or a well established part of the Hann Empire - although it has been part of Greater Hann since its inception.

First, the area was ravaged by the Wangate Empire, led by plane travelling priestesses of Wee Jas. When they were defeated Galinia, fell to ravening hordes from the mountains. Shortly afterwards, Angasa was lost to pirates and marauders - although some said that a Briganda renegade was leader of the pirates. Later, Angasa was reclaimed on behalf of house Briganda and Richard Briganda managed to reclaim part of the Galinia coastline.

However, his Galinia's rulers were corrupted by the remnants of church of Wee Jas, and they turned to necromancy and other dark magical arts, to reclaim the land. Once again, Galinia collapsed when the various leadership factions started feuding with each other and, once again, the mainland and was overrun by undead, shape changers and humanoids from the mountains. Now the effort to reclaim Galinia has started again, under Lady Portia Briganda-Shay.

Note (Once these separate branches of the Briganda family feuded, now these ‘cousins’ work together - most of the time)

Angasa is a bustling island state, its main settlement is a small city, that has been built on the back of trade along the western shores of the Hann Sea. Prince Augustus Briganda (seventh of that name) runs a well organised administration, with clear (and fair) laws that he expects people to follow. Primary Deities are Pelor and Abadar, although the Cult of the Small Gods has a large following here. (Pelor, Abadar, Small Gods)

Galinia is almost the complete opposite, Lady Portia Briganda-Shay’s state does not have a city, and the Lady’s Tower is situated in an island town, part of the Nome Complex. However, do not be deceived by the map, as it shows Galinia as it was in the old days and what the lady hopes to achieve. She has a long way to go yet. Away from the town, there are a few rural villages and a small Dwarf mine - dotted around between tribes of humanoids, and ruins that may be infested with undead or shape-changers. It is not a place for the faint-hearted.

The main deities are The Small Gods, Cayden, and the Green Faith. The Dwarves are followers of Moradin. Wee Jas, is still a significant deity and is worshipped by a number of the undead, and necromancers that plague the land. It is rumoured that Lady Portia has a shrine dedicated to the Royal Ancestors of Porters Bar.

Note: Galinia is an area suitable for adventurers, and it appears (in more detail) in this section of the website.
