I would have thought that the Galanini already had a leg-up of their own (through the worship of Hrelar Amali). Moreover in one of the few sources that we have about the Galanini (Bertalor's musings in Elder Secrets), they are described as worshipping Ehilm (although this may be only one tribe).

The trouble with this is that the Galanini are contacted rather late (130 ST) or so at which time they are already well-established. Moreover because of their location, I would have thought they have been invigorated by the pagan Seshnegi (or Tanisor) before the Missionaries found their way to them.
