Saint Palmer was an Aromano-Ebrarian Christian missionary and bishop in present day Gotneska. He is the patron saint of Gotneska and is venerated in the Orthodox communion, !Gotneskan church, and various Amendant denominations. Palmer is credited with introducing Christianity to Gotneska and is likely partly responsible for the Christianization of other Northern Argic peoples.
Life
Palmer was in Ebrary in the coastal village of Ocresa, a small self-governing polis within the sphere of influence of the city-state of Ceres. He was born to a Fragan-speaking family of Aroman origin, with his parents likely being Aroman-born colonists. Palmer was kidnapped by pagan pirates from Gotneska at the age of 14 and subsequently spent 7 years in slavery in Gotneska.
During his time in slavery, Palmer became deeply religious. Eventually, he fled and escaped inland back to Ebrary.
