	“No, not quite. But your grandfather finally found the opportunity he’d been waiting for. One of the merchant companies was going out of business, and he ~~decided~~ to pay its creditors in exchange for ownership of the company. People thought he was crazy to buy a failing business, of course, but he managed to turn it around. Within three years, Relish Imports and Exports was one of the busiest traders on the docks of Andarr. Oh, those were wonderful times, child. Wonderful times! We had more than enough to keep us happy. But your grandfather was an ambitious man, and he wasn’t satisfied with that.”		“No, not quite. But your grandfather finally found the opportunity he’d been waiting for.

his childhood in blandenberg.


Bedridden and weak, but heart-wrenchingly precious, a sickly boy of nine lies on a bed of straw. An elderly woman looks fondly upon him and combs his red hair. He sweats, feverish, his head twisting. She pats his forehead with a damp cloth.



grandmother


“There, there. Don’t strain yourself, dearest. Would you like another story?”



child


(straining nonetheless)


“Yes, meemaw. Please...”



The woman thinks for a moment. Some have accused her of doting on this feeble child, but he was her only grandson. She loved to tell tales and the boy had been confined to bed for years now.



grandmother


“You’ve heard them all so many times you know them better than I, child. Knights and dragons, tournaments and weddings, alliances and betrayals. I’m afraid I have nothing new to tell you.”



child


“How about … ''our'' story, meemaw.”
