[QUOTE="Omand, post: 8798951, member: 14344"] [USER=67338]@GMforPowergamers[/USER] you seem to feel (based upon a few posts), that by a child inheriting the throne and taking it on as soon as they come of age this is a tearing apart of family alliances and somehow a disruption of good order. Step back and think about that again for a second. The individual coming to the throne is a child of the deceased king and the elf queen (or queen-consort, depending on your model). They are literally a combination or mingling of the blood of two families. They are a merging of family alliances. Their mother's relatives are all cousins and uncles. Not of the royal line if you believe in the concept of bloodline, but very influential in the nobility and the royal court and government in general. This actually creates more opportunity for intrigue and shenanigans. You now have people not raised within the Royal family who are very close to it (potentially). They may abuse their influence, or try to. They may try to throw their weight around, or not. They might be great advisors, or parasites on the body politic. Overall, however, they will most definitely be sources of possible adventure and disruption. [/QUOTE]
