No, I'm an Englishman - Yorkshire, to put a finer point on it. I woke up in some odd sort of hospital. Best guess is that something dragged me through the King's Roads while I was asleep, but I haven't figured out who or why, yet. Got a theory, but those aren't much good 'less you can put them into practice or prove 'em.
