| The Galka are a physically imposing race, and are the minority population of Bastok.
Characterized by their hulking frames, the Galka are renowned for their unsurpassed
strength. The Galka reproduce through a form of reincarnation and hence have no specific
gender, but are generally considered to be male.
The Galka once lived in the Altepa desert, but their homeland fell to an attack of the beastmen some six hundred years ago. The remaining Galka spread across the world, and many of them settled in Bastok. Their sheer strength of their physique is second to none. They have used their skills to contribute to the construction and development of the numerous mines in Bastok. It appears that some Galka distrust members of the Hume race. |
The Republic of BastokA republic founded by the technologically advanced Hume race on the southern portion of the Quon continent. Every few years, the citizens of Bastok elect a Hume president as their head of state. Bastok was once a small town that was mainly supported by the nearby mythril mines. Today, however, it has grown into a highly industrialized city famed for its advances in smelting, refining, and metalworking. The southern portion of the city is largely settled by a race of powerful individuals known as the Galka, who play a major role in excavating, developing, and working the mines. |  |
Players who want a sense of size and importance will get everything they need out of the Galka. The Tarutaru casters in the back of the party depend on the big guys to go out and take the hits. The drive to protect should be a critical part of many Galka characters. Although there is nothing wrong with the minds of the noble Galka, some players prefer a brutish approach, emulating the barbaric warriors of many herioc stories. Rather than protect, these militant Galka enjoy the screams of melee and the fear of their foes.
