Honour For Bastards

There's a shame that can't be spoken, for children born out of wedlock. A shame that leaves a stain on their face for all their lives which leaves one to wonder why there are names left out of the great stories? Why the heroes are always noble and pure birth, with never a mark on their fame? How many stories forgot the bastards and simple people, the ones who gave their lives for nothing in return? Perhaps it's time the stories be told true, and the Gods stood up for bastards.
