Dead Men Still Tell Tales

I would have written this last night after my weekly Search for the Dead, but my familiar kept jumping in my way when I tried. He feels he is neglected and let me know it quite verbally when I returned to the hovel last night. He then jumped up on my writing table and would not stay down, instead he meowed at me most ferociously about how he is not worshiped as he is deserved.

Upon my investigations into my own dead ancestors I discovered that my paternal grandfather, the auspicious and infamous Grampy St. Thomas entered the king’s realm in a covert manner and was not truly a citizen of our kingdom. He didst come from the land north of us from those who speak like unto the Frankish peoples. This explains why many of his claims in life do not match with our king’s records nor with the evidence found from this other kingdom. It also explains why his father, who didst also enter our kingdom in a covert manner that does not follow the king’s law, changed the family’s name from Lebret de St. Amand to St. Thomas, it ’twas verily a method to fool the king’s guard. ‘Tis no wonder that his first wife’s father was a deserter from the land across the pond.

I have no fear from the warriors of ICE at least, for they target those from the kingdom to the south. Also, the honorable Grampy Thomas, who was called Asbury, married a woman whose family didst fight for our kingdom with our first king who establish this great desmesne upon this land.

Still, after all these years, the truth was discovered. For dead men still have tales to tell.
