So snaithy and saaga are finally going to found a family, have left the Dekovens and want to start afresh. thing is, would it mean re-considering all their current kids? and with 4 out of 5 kids inactive, what the hell they gonna do?

You and your spouse may FOUND FAMILY at the Hall of Records for a
fee of 25,000 gold. Only a couple with a family name may find their
children. Your children will take on your family name. You can use the
CONFIG command to always show your family name.

**REMEMBER TO CAPITALISE YOUR FAMILY NAME WHEN FOUNDING A FAMILY***

I think that means they'll switch over to your new name.

I thought that means only a couple with a family name can consider children, and those children are the ones that take on the family name...I did not think it would be automatic...still we shall find out soon I guess

Jeeze, I thought they were just quiet like me

heh actually I counted you as the active one...

I am! I was saying I didn't know the others weren't. Lusternia broke me of the habit of checking who lists, since I spend so much time on different planes.

Aww, this means that Torre's Fwho is gonna be, like, constantly empty now. Which is odd when you consider the sheer number of Dekovens...

You are welcome to try to prove me wrong, but I believe you cannot found a family, given at least one (in this case both) of you have already found your family/families.

Likewise, the children are born into a family. Therein, all of Snaithy's children were born into the Dekoven family, and there they remain.

This is, again, I cannot stress enough, my meager understanding of the family system.

That was how I understood it, but it doesn't seem to have stopped Anisu and Reiha.

I believe you can reject and then found a second family. I think it's how that worked with the L'eternae cause Sivriel was a Mes'ard but is also a founder for the L'eternae... can't log in to confirm though.


I also once issued myself about this, apparently even if you did do it the children still stay as their current family but with the ability to choose their family they might have some ability to move over. (they would possibly have to reject current family and then choose the new one.

Pretty sure Sivy married, but I'm checking now.

Progenitors:
Founder: (A) Laysus L'Eternae
Founder: (A) Raiha L'Eternae
(I) Sivriel Mes'ard
(I) Acrune
(I) Iola Starfall
(A) Zyanya L'Eternae

Sivriel is a first generation member of the Great House of Mes'ard.
Sivriel was born into the Great House of Mes'ard.
She has been divorced once.

Taking myself as an example, Tervic married into the Aristata family with Clise, and as such their children are Aristatas. He's now a Sijamrak founder with Arkzrael, so their kids will have the Sijamrak family name.

The family system needs revamping. /shameless plug

Aaahk

Seriously though, what sort of family system wouldn't let me threaten people with ( and I'll take half the family with me))

Give me Raiha back *peer*
