Re: Deadwood, 37 Talisandre 620 N.A.
In reply to Aeletheros (msg #290):
Wraith's brow furrows, and a dark aspect settles on his face like a cloud. "It is no secret that my family participated in the Tanasian coup that threatened to overthrow Cymril. Ours was once a proud, conservative family. That all changed when the coup was thwarted. My family's land and resources were confiscated. My mother and father were arrested and have not been heard from since." Wraith pauses and drinks deeply. "My uncle, the patriarch of our family, and one of arch-instigators, fled the Seven Kingdoms and left the rest of my family to endure punishment in his stead. His agenda was far darker than restoring conservative rule to Cymril. He was rumored to have studied the profane arts of necromancy, and to have consorted with demons and other beings of darkness. I know not whether he still lives, but I fear that if he does, he may still aspire to topple the Seven kingdoms." The airmen kneads his hands together. "I won't tell you what it was like to come of age during the aftermath of that absurd revolution. I changed my name to absolve myself, but it helped little." He stares downward and says, "I spent many years living a wanton and profligate life, and I have garnered the enmity of more souls than I can name. Suffice it say, Cymril is populated by the ghosts of a past that will haunt me until my death.
