Gale Earthbane

For those who know little of K'ul Goran, one might struggle to picture Gale Earthbane from name alone. For a K'ul Goran though, it is immediately obvious. Gale is of course a classic Genasi name, and the surname is definitely of Minotaur origin. Specifically 'Earthbane' however, earth being the elemental opposite of air, suggests that Gale is from a strongly mixed family of both Air Genasi and Minotaur, very common in this part of the world.
With that context, it should now be easy to imagine the pale blue fur greying in many places, seven and a half foot tall minotaur, with a lightness of step which belies her size, and horns swept so far back that they seem like part of her skull. Unlike the traditional minotaur of Faerun, but not at all unlike her fellow citizens of K'ul Goran, Gale is a scholar and practicioner of arcane arts. Her speciality is The Kantas Expanse itself and its peculiar relationship with geography and the multiverse. She has studied the continent for most of her life, roaming far from her home in the capital to research the phenomena around.
Her initial treatise, "Kantas - A Study in Impossible Geography", was largely disregarded when as a young academic she tried to piece together different maps and star charts and attempted to piece them together as part of a coherent whole. Her conclusion was that such a project could not succeed because the pieces did not fit together. Gale labelled it 'disturbing', the apparent fact that sections of Kantas appeared sound in their geography but the larger the area you tried to comprehend, the less it made sense. Her colleagues and seniors merely called it poor attention to detail, substandard map making elsewhere, and a juvenile sense of grand discovery. Nevertheless, she continued her work.
She wrote paper after paper on the subject and the evidence to support her claim mounted. When asked how she could believe such preposterous things, she asked colleagues to check her work. That stopped arguments quite quickly, as the more people tried to find her mistakes, the more worried they became.
Professor Earthbane, as she became, headed up an entire research department - not a large affair by some standards, a half-dozen researchers and scholars - but they were dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of their continent. It has been long work however, and the perils of travel beyond the safety of the K'ul Goran borders have made even mapping all the edges of the land the most difficult research feat attempted.
At this point, the answer to their burning question remains a mystery: how does Kantas exist? Or more precisely, where? However, the statue recently unveiled in her honour marks the key legacy Professor Earthbane will leave behind - she asked the question, and got other people asking it too. "No one ever learned without first asking a question," is engraved at the statue's base, a phrase she is well known for amongst her students.
