Legend

this Galacian woman was a member of the hill clans, and remained outside the control of the city of Galu. However, she rose to become her clan's leader, and was considered to be a candidate to succeed Queen Veda despite her lack of concern for Galacian politics. Queen Veda revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi that Elan was actually the daughter of her husband, King Cana, who had defied the Galacian political ministers and married a woman of the hill clans. When she remained outside the democratic elections Veda proposed, both Deca Brun and Wila Prammi courted her support. Elan refused to acknowledge any of the candidates, keeping the hill people separate from the inhabitants of Galu. She was distinguished from other Galacians by her darker eyes and skin tone, closer to the nighttime colors than to the brightness of the moonlight. Elan was known as a healer among her people, and helped Qui-Gon Jinn recover from wounds he suffered while fighting off bandits in the hills. She told him that her father, Rowi, had been a noted healer among the hill people, and that her mother, Tema, had never traveled to Galu. Domi revealed the to Qui-Gon that Elan was the true heir, shortly after Lonnag Giba attempted to assassinate her. She agreed to travel to Galu, and eventually threw in her support - and that of the Hill People - to Wila Prammi. Despite acknowledging her heritage, Elan chose not to take the Tallah surname until she was ready to accept it.
