Okay, I'm sorry.  I keep popping into the forum to ask a question for the Marshedge project I'm working on for the Jonestown Compendium, and promising I really am going to finish that project someday seriously, and then making a few posts disappearing for months.  Sorry.  I've been extremely busy with work and haven't had a lot of free time, but I really do intend to finish that project, and I'm currently working on the section about the history of the Lismelder Tribe, and, uh, I'm afraid I have another question.  (Hopefully this will be the last one, but no promises.)

So, probably the most significant figure in the history of the Lismelder tribe after Queen Lismelder herself is Indrodar Greydog, who has a cult named after him that still plays an important role in the tribe today. Tales of the Reaching Moon #18 says that Indrodar and his wife Queen Tara "had only one child, a daughter named Siobhan.  She disgraced them with her marriage."

That... sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what exactly it means, and I can't find any more information about Siobhan anywhere.  Does anyone who was around for the original Greydog campaign know if this ever came up there and exactly how Siobhan "disgraced them with her marriage"?  Obviously I can just make something up myself—and I will if there's no other information available—but I'm trying to stay consistent with canon as much as possible, so if there's a canonical answer (and for these purposes I'm counting the Greydog campaign as canonical, even if it technically wasn't), I'd like to find it out.

Thanks.

See Tales #20. She married her cousin, Hodir (in flagrant disregard for all decent marriage customs). Hodir was the grasping Greydog Clan chieftain who was killed in 1413 during a war of conquest with the Hillhaven clan (done in by his father-in-law, but that’s another story). Their only child was Snorri Hodirson, and they say his bloodline are both cursed and blessed.

I doubt questions are a problem for anyone here, @Jex, but if you're concerned about spamming the forum you could make a thread called "Marshedge questions" or whatever, and anytime you have another question, you can just add it to that thread.

  Gaah; I read Tales #20 (well, the relevant parts; I skipped sections that were unrelated to the Lismelder like the sections on Arrolia), and I somehow missed that.  Or more likely I did read it but didn't note it down and then had forgotten about it by the time it came up.  Thanks for the pointer.

Well, like I said, hopefully this will be the last question, but if something else does come up I'll take your advice; thanks.

I’m happy to answer any Marshedge clan questions (uncanonically). We never really developed that clan very much in Tales - so probably speculatively as well  (meaning you can ignore inconvenient answers)!

Searchable PDFs would have been great for that. Pity that ToTRM aren't available in that format.
