I've added a bit to the background in post 1
A possible hook for this could be that your father/uncle/whatever was a vassal to Baron Bedegar. After Bedegar was killed and Lord Saxton took power, you father was accused of treason/heresy (real or not) and put to death, his lands taken and given to Lord Saxton's lackeys. You've been away and are returning to find the truth.

lady The actual character sheet doesn't seem to be there anymore, but the background works easily. She could even be from Graveford originally.
