[quote=Nerendier] Thanks for answering my questions guys.Of course. However, just because he's older doesn't make him a more suitable candidate for the throne, perhaps my character is on the furthest branch of the family tree. It's possible that you, or any of the other Blackwaters, wouldn't even know that he was part of the Blackwater lineage he's so far removed [/quote] So you're totally my cousin who was the same age? Sounds like typical marriage material for monarchy's back in the day (if your character is male). Also, even if we rule that out we might've been childhood friends when we were like 5-8 or something. I think my character was like 8 when the coupe happened, so there's a lot of potential for story there.
