Do You deem Your head fit for a crown?
Thoughts about the design under the cut!
I've had a few reasons for deerlike association with Gale, and of course most of it is symbolic. Deer are hunted for food by many predators and men alike. Somehow it fits with how what is killing him is described as hungry and never sated and how he's expected to sacrifice his life not as a last, but as a first resort. Deer can symbolise someone who's been used or fooled. While it's a more complicated matter, he also has a certain problem with hubris, and he is a bit of a showoff, both things corresponding with how deer are viewed as proud animals. The crown of Karsus IMO also bears an uncanny resemblance to antlers.
