Caitlannagh "Lana" Galanodel

Caitlannagh "Lana" Galanodel was born in the first half of the Last War to elven explorers Aeraes and Lia Galanodel. The Galanodel family left the fey spires some generations ago to adventure in Eberron and “seize opportunities” they were denied in Thelanis, or so Lana’s father preaches. Aereas and Lia follow their instincts on that, working with collaborators from other races to research, catalog and deliver rare exotic items and materials to their government, the kingdom of Breland, where Lana’s grandfather settled before it was even a kingdom.

As the Galanodels explored and meddled into the strangest places for their loot, they came into contact with places brimming with planar energy. One such foray near the border with Thrane was the place were Lana was conceived, and it inadvertently changed her into a different type of elf, even before she discovered latent sorcerer powers. She was able to see in the dark and speak in exotic languages, her skin fair and flawless as the eladrin of old.

As the Galanodels never stopped their exploratory pursuits after the birth of their daughter, Lana grew up moving from place to place and getting immersed in her parents’ way of life. She showed a knack for managing business transactions and knew how to talk and convince other people. She liked all of that as it brought her closer to her parents and she showed real talent for it.

What she did not like was her ability to do, as she said, “crappy magic”. It made her feel silly when people wanted to “see a trick” and how often she felt like there was a bottleneck inside her, holding something deep down. She never shared that, afraid of what she would find. She was content working in commerce.

As she grew up into her own person, towards the yet unknown end of the Last War, she decided to split from the elder Galanodels and start her own ventures. As a Brelish citizen, she would go continue to support her homeland, but on a much less glamorous trade for food and material supplies as a starting point.

Intent on starting her own merchant house, Lana relied on contacts she made during the time working with her parents to fulfill orders and sell non-military supplies in the kingdom. She would often take losses though, when she saw the plight of people needing food or clothes. Some of her profit was spent with charitable donations, giving her a difficult start.

It was a couple of years into this endeavor when Lana made the mistake of trying her crappy magic inside her main warehouse. Somehow, the bottleneck cracked open and, she cannot remember exactly, but the place went down on top of her. She lost most of her merchandise and, more importantly, was at a loss of how to handle the fact she had strong magical potential. She was no longer rich, but was she ever supposed to be? Was she squandering a more important gift? The crappy magic made her feel more in touch with herself than the merchant stuff did.

She decided it was time to turn her heading somewhere else.
