Seanscéal means ‘old story.’ Like a parable, or a fable. Sharing a seanscéal is a way of getting around the Freeman not-waking-the-dead custom. Ciarán mac Diarmuid doesn’t break with custom lightly but he must, three times, breaking unspoken law to explain:

How he won a posting to the Freeman Merchant Academy.

How he and his cat, the mong hu Wisp, first met.

How he learned the Iron Rule and the enduring cost of that lesson.

It’s no small thing, waking the dead. But when the price of ignorance is measured in lives? Someone has to speak up.
