Graham's Mom (surname Cracker) was the mother of Graham (KQGS). She lives in the country of Llewdor.

Background[]

She and her husband, lived in the land of Llewdor (KQGS) to the far north where they raised their son. She is known for custard pies (KQGS), and choco-chip pancakes she makes. She designed the cape Graham wears, putting all kinds of pockets in it to hold things. She also gave him the feather he kept in his favorite blue Adventurer's Cap. She also made Graham eat his breakfast of choco-chop pancakes on the day he traveled to Daventry to be ready for the tournament the next day (however he was late as the tournament had been pushed forward by one day).

It is not known if her husband was alive when Graham left for Daventry that fateful day.

Behind the scenes[]

It is possible that Graham’s mom doesn’t live in Llewdor or the far north currently. Perhaps south or west of Serenia (KQGS)/Eldritch (KQGS) at the time of chapter 1.

There are some travel time inconsistencies in the games story and unused content. In the cut line from intro it suggests Graham had been traveling for many days from his homeland. However other details imply his homeland is apparently located within a day or few journey from Daventry. For one there is a discussion of him being home with his mother that morning for breakfast.[1] However, another discussion about him being off about the day of the tournament could imply he had been traveling for a few days at least.[2][3][4]

Likewise Ch3 claiming he was from the far north, while breakfast with his mom in Ch2 that morning would imply he hadn’t been that far north.

That Grahams family keeps jinxes and were-hogs sentient creatures native to Serenia and Eldritch proper may also suggest a homeland closer to those places as well.[5]
