		Galerus has recently opened its borders to travelers from across Avalon, they are located on the western coast of the Sea of Akupal, lying South and West of Killgriv and Anilar.
		Galerus is unique among the known lands, in that it is not ruled by a noble family, but by a Senate.

	Retiarius
		His body armour consisted solely of a high metal shoulder-guard, the galerus, on his left, or leading, shoulder, overlapping and affixed to the top edge of a manica protecting the left arm.
		What is more, the galerus and manica are on his right shoulder and arm, and he grips the trident in his right hand.
		There is one aberrant depiction of a gladiator with trident and shield; it is a poorly executed graffito from a wall in Pompeii, and it is clearly not a retiarius, because the fighter appears to be helmeted, yet he carries what seems to be a trident.

		The hand guard attached to this galerus, is remarkable similar to a cestus, though it is not bladed.

		The arm with the trident is covered by a manica (sleeve) stuffed by rags and fixed to the arm by strings.
		The same side shoulder wears the galerus, an iron wing that protects the throat but much more blinds the retiarius to his left side; generating a snag to the fighter.
		Our fighting trainings with net and trident, (take a look at HANDBOOK OF FIGHT and at note 4), putted in evidence how very easy was for the unskilled retiarius to catch himself with his net, especially his own trident.
