I think Ganrelka is Celmomas' nephew.
Anyone got a citation for that? If it's true, then my crackpot theory about Kellhus being a direct descendant of Seswatha is probably false.
Months earlier, Anasurimbor Ganrelka II, High King of Kuniüri, had fled to Ishual with the remnants of his household.
1408 - Anasûrimbor Nanor-Ukkerja I defeats Scintya, seizes the Ur-Throne in Trysë and declares himself the first High King of Kûniüri, at age 30.[72]
1556 - Anasûrimbor Nanor-Ukkerja I dies at age 178, his long life reputedly the result of the Nonman blood in his veins. In the 148 years of his reign, he had extended Kûniüri to the Yimelati Mountains in the north, to the westernmost coasts of the Cerish Sea in the east, to Sakarpus in the south, and to the Demua Mountains in the west. At his death, he divided this empire between his sons, creating Aörsi and Sheneor in addition to Kûniüri proper
2056 - Anasûrimbor Mygella, Hero-King of Aörsi, whose deeds are recounted in The Sagas, is born.[87]
2089 - Anasûrimbor Celmomas II, last High King of Kûniüri, is born.[88] Seswatha, founder of the School of Mandate, is born to a caste-menial Trysean bronzesmith.[89]
2092 - Anasûrimbor Nimeric, High King of ancient Aörsi before its destruction in the Apocalypse, is born.[90]
2104 - At age 15, Seswatha becomes the youngest sorcerer of rank in the history of the Sohonc.[92] Anasûrimbor Ganrelka II, successor of Celmomas II and last reigning High King of Kûniüri, is born.[93]
2109 - Anaxophus V, Kyranean High King, is born.[94]
2111 - Anasûrimbor Mygella, famed Hero-King of Aörsi, dies at age 46.[95]
2119 - Anasûrimbor Nau-Cayûti, youngest son of Anasûrimbor Celmomas II and his most prized wife Sharal, is born. Legends have long circulated that Nau-Cayûti was in fact Seswatha’s son.[98]
2123 - Nonmen Siqu inform the Grandmaster of the Sohonc that the Mangaecca, or Consult as they had come to be called, had uncovered lost Inchoroi secrets that would lead to the world’s destruction. Seswatha in turn convinced Anasûrimbor Celmomas to declare war on Golgotterath, known as the Great Ordeal.[99]
I was originally going to claim that Ganrelka descended from either Mygella or from Nimeric. I was going to say Nimeric because of the way he fell out with the ordeal (it is likely Nimeric's chorae/pouch that Sorweel is carrying), it would have made sense for him to send his heir to Ishual. Ganrelka is high king of Kuniuri not of the other two regions, I was going to argue that he was named high king after all the other anasurimbor had died, but I think it looks like he is Celmomas' son. So I retract the previous claim he's a nephew.
Look at the timeline, Ganrelka is born the same year that Seswatha ascends to a notable position. Presumably, Celmomas began Ishual's construction at this point. He may have been fearful for his heir, he may have suddenly given credence to worries about the consult now that he was a father and subject to new fatherly emotions, he may have decided that raising his heir away from court would protect him from his royal relatives and possibly siblings?[/quote]
