LUCILLE
FLATHEAD
Lucille Flathead, was born sometime in 788-9 GUE to Lucrezia Flathead
and an unknown enchanter in the Flatheadia dungeon. On 14
Mumberbur 789, when Lucrezia was killed, the enchanter made a daring
escape soon after with their child in tow. He spirited the young
Lucille away to the recesses of the deepest underground, known only as
The Dark—a network of catacombs beneath the prison.
It
took all he could do to protect the child from the terrible curse on
the House of Flathead—and only when he was certain that the child was
to be spared, the enchanter disappeared, completely sapped of his
powers. He was last seen in the general direction of Miznia, near
Gurth. Rumor had it he had fallen to work as a lowly miner, perhaps
having started another family, bit he had never been heard from again.
The
female descendents of Lucille Flathead were all protected from the
Curse of Megaboz and continued to be born with traditionally flat
heads. Thus the Flathead seed still feared for their lives, remaining
hidden in The Dark, apart from the rest of the Empire. Flatheads aside,
in every generation there had appeared to be one daughter who was a
telepath. c. 989 GUE saw the birth of Lucy Flathead.
