Efraim Graben Was a Fraud

Sccording to this folktale, Efraim Graben, founder and patriarch of the Graben Family was no noble or anyone of special status but rather a fraud, a forger, and a thief who fabricated the Graben name from whole cloth.. As it happens, this folktale is largely true (as far as false history goes). In 580 BC, the wealthy jewel thief arrived to the island and built Graben Manor. In 610 BC, the family now known as the Grabens adopted the island name for their own as they settled the land full time.
