Galen Trollfoe is an elven ranger from Nelananess.

Nelananess is a mid-sized city with about 2700 inhabitants, almost all of them forest elves, situated on the river Naelanon.

Galen's family have been part of the city defenders for milennia, Galen himself having served with the city sentries for several years.

The sentries' job is to scout out a wider area around the city so as to discover and, if possible, thwart any threat to the city before it gets near the city.
