PIECE PROFILES
Gallianaus
You have heard the adage, “don’t cry over spilt milk”. Well,
have you ever met a bottle imp. Once they are out of the bottle, there is just
no getting them back in. Unlike Genies, who will grant your wishes, imps, who
are akin to gremlins, are a whirlwind of disaster and like mosquitoes have no
redeeming features. Hence, they are always tucked away safely in their bottles.
While rummaging around one day, looking for a misplaced potion, Gallianaus the
Wizard knocked over a long forgotten bottle and out popped the imp. Now the
trick of course is how to get him back in.

The two photos below were printed in the Summer 1998 'Journeys' newsletter and clearly show that the imp was originally going to have more metalic blue/purple on it and I prefer it this way.
