 Historically the Gyp came from the east, so says the Tempton School (founded in part by [[Irictus Ross]]), possibly as far east as the [[Xurient]] but this remains speculation.

-Criminals are people who appear like unto you and I, smell like you and I, speak like you and I, and ambulate like you and I.  They are so similar, in fact, that sometimes it is difficult to separate the true criminal from you and I, or from large gatherings of our family and friends, or even from the enormous crowds congregating at the summertime rock concerto set in the Sedjfeld parkway.

-As to the emergence of criminals, there is a theory that anyone, including you and I, can become a criminal, though this theory is just that, only a theory.  Others propose that indeed, criminals are quite distinct from the general Ghyllian population; not in looks but in kinship.

-The Gyp Theory begins by delving into the word ''criminal'' and makes the observation that its origin is quite unknown, or at least forgotten.  Zed Dredig, a strong proponent of this theory, has gone on the record to say that criminal stems from the conjoint terms ''crim'' and ''nal'', ''crim'' being of unknown meaning but ''nal'' clearly meaning ''good riddance''.  The importance of this is that there exists a [[Lake Crimin]] many days walk southeast of the Principality of Jurra.

-The second area of investigation within the Gyp Theory is the Gyp themselves.  This we know: the Gyp are vagabonds, miscreants, and used-carriage salesmen.  The we also know: they have largely disappeared into the dustcorners of our modern society; mind you ''disappeared'' does not mean ''gone to nothing'', but rather ''cease to openly show themselves'' as by intermarrying with regular Ghylls like you and I.
