Fionn was wed to Maeoral, a Cimmerian girl from Grathwold, to strengthen the alliance between the two Grath villages. She gave Fionn four sons: Finn, Dael, Eanbotha, and Eregerth.  Before their firstborn, Finn, became your father, he witnessed trouble in your grandmother's village of Grathwold. A Grath shepherd traded a few sheep to an Aesir family for a wife. The shepherd was ridiculed and shunned by some members of the greater clan outside of Grathwold who felt the mixing of Cimmerian and Aesir blood to be an impure act that dishonored the clan. Some say that the shepherd was eventually forced out of Grathwold. Others say that the shepherd left the clan of his own choosing in order to find another home for his family. In either case, the shepherd did not leave Grathwold until his Aesir wife had a child, a little girl they named Lyme.  Finn knew little of Lyme, but he felt honor bound to offer marriage to her. No one else would. He thought that bringing her into the Duncohr family would shield her from those who would call her "half-breed". Fionn was against the marriage. The shepherd agreed, though, knowing his road away from the clan was uncertain and most likely dangerous.  Finn married Lyme, but the scorn and labels of clan dishonor did not cease.  The Aesir bloodline has passed from her mother to Lyme to her sons, Branoc and Caelis.  Branoc favors his father, Finn. But Caelis is light haired and light eyed--his Aesir heritage showing through.</blockquote>
