The Gallus people originating from the Lands of Maria, the city state of Baile an Ghaelaigh, the fierce proud people who have fought the oppression of the Evari since the beginning. They settled in the northern west of Dophia in the mountainous rocky lands. The Gallus primarily eek out lives in miners, farming, herdsmen, and wood cutters. The Gallus have no formal monarchy and are a group of free clans under the rule of the Evari. 

The Gallus are a collection of free clans with similar cultures relying on simple fare, highly reliant on potatoes, animal products, and a variety of vegetables. Their food is often heavy in vegetables, rich in gravy, and good for long hard hours. The wealthier classes use imported spices while the lower classes have a small selection of native herbs including the local Doitean Dubh bark which has a sweet heat to it. They have many smaller settlements often extended family units that trade between each other and form marriage arrangements to prevent inbreeding.  The Patriarch of each family leads decisions of the area surrounding the settlement while the Matriarch oversees the settlement proper. The Gallus train in slinging, archery, and combat drills when they can. Their fighting force is lightly armed, quick, agile, and masters of concealment. They move around enemy forces cut off officers from the main body of superior forces, break their chains of command, cut off supplies, force heavy infantry into softer ground, wear them down and when they are weak, confused, tired, and starving attack in mass. Often fighting three of the most powerful militaries on Dophia the Gallus never fight an enemy head on when it can be circumvented, divided, and ground down. 

The Gallus have few national laws but each settlement has its own laws with few figured out by a meeting of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of each clan. Often the Evari apply strict laws but the Gallus often undermine their direct control and authority. The Gallus seek freedom and try to live with the individual as the dominate ideal, though not at the detriment of the family unit. The Gallus enjoy racing horses across open fields, games of skill, foot races, sparing, log tossing, storytelling, and have few entertainments considered high culture due to the cost of existing under the Evari thumb.  

The Gallus believe in Freedom and a pursuit of beauty. They look to keep nature as pure as possible, find beauty in life and nature, pursue improving the self and community, and finding one’s niche in the greater world. The Gallus aren’t allowed to have formal magical institutions and rely mainly on tribal magic and natural born spell casters. They do maintain a College of Arts, with its magical courses stripped out, which produces many renown artists. The Gallus maintain skirmishers and militia to defend their lands. 

The Gallus export picked food, lumber, spice barks, herbs, iron, and coal. They provide much of the iron used by smiths across the Empire. They have many great musicians, sculptors, and painters. 

The Gallus have no formal alliances and are regularly in uprising against the Evari who conquered them long ago. Often skirmishing with the Evari allies of the Norish and Norgathi. The Gallus have a strong national identity and try to keep their race pure from the Evari overlords.
