Maybe the real eldritch horrors are the friends we made along the way

Galanys was bored out of her mind, growing up in a podunk village. She joined a summoning ritual on a lark, because she had nothing better to do, and because she had a fun idea she wanted to try. The chances of success were like one in a million, but it would be so funny if it worked. The Nisheran had been engineered to die in a ritual trial, its only purpose to test the limits of its Clade’s designs. It understood its fate, accepted it, and executed it with precision. Then something noticed it. Something vast and truly alien. --- This story builds on The Adventures of Rania Mortal the Perfectly Normal Elf. It is recommended but not required that you read that story first. If you read this story first, you will discover the world alongside Galanys. This story also has elements from Faith Engines. However, it does not spoil that story: It gives you more pieces of the puzzle to figure out the plot, but it does not give away the answer.
