A grain of truth
Visitors often suspect the Grain of truth Mill of having a sinister past,
because of its past. It was the site of a family murder. Back in 68 AN the
mill was run by Bormer who killed his wife and three sons.
Kyle Teldon has
been the villages miller for almost 20 years. He purchased it cheap as
nobody would buy it due to its past and now works it with his family: Aila (his wife;
and their sons (Elmo
and Panu) and two daughters (Irja and Satu). A taciturn man, he
is obsessed with treasure hunting and is widely thought of as
odd.
As a boy he found a trove of old coins in the river mud and
he dreams of finding yet more treasure. Unbeknownst to all but
his wife, he still has the coins—worn golden coins of ancient,
unknown artifice. Sometimes he sits alone fondling them in the
dead of night and dreaming dark dreams of what might be.
