A map about Gale’s early life, also featuring Thema’s characters Christoph and Lui, because crossovers are fun! In my mind’s eye Gale traveled more than this in his youth, but I simplified it to keypoints.
-- I don’t know where he was born or who his people were, but Scythia is a possibility. If so, his journey would have started near Planca’s olive tree.
-- Anything before nine years old is blank for him, but he was likely a slave. He may have been transported about the Mediterranean. Basil found him boat-wrecked near Massalia (Southern France) and that’s where he grew up. It’s here that he also meets Planca. Look how far she traveled to bitch at him. She was committed.
-- I’m not sure when or where he found his Hhoota whistle (yet), or when he marked his face with mud, but it’s somewhere between points A and B.
-- Basil dies. Probably still a teenager, Gale leaves. Eventually, in his 20s, he travels North (by land or sea). He may have gone to other places, but to move his timeline forward, I’m looking North.
-- He met Rory and his village. Bui happened. Then bad things happened. He took his first step toward becoming a god.
-- He left Britain. At this point I like too many of the what ifs. He either traveled, or retraced his steps back to Scythia. Or both!
Christoph and Lui are on the map for our own reference. The color coding is loosely based on groups of people.
