Setting the Scene 

The Royal Lineage of Cricenal and the surrounding Vassal Cities from the year 4578 onward

Title: Crown 

A note on names: The head ruler has the additional last name Cricenal, as does their immediate family, i.e. spouse and children. Other members of the family inherit their family names matrilineally. 

For Example: Emiliean Souad Garrendal Cricenal and then when his brother inherited the throne he was just Emiliean Souad Garrendal until he was Coronated. 

Spouses are expected to add the name of their mother in law as their middle name

Personal Name, Spouse’s Mother’s Family, Mother’s Family

For Non FM marriages, the last name is either the birthing parent or the parent of higher status

Non-married people only have two names with the exception of the Crown’s children. 

Lineage is Primogenital

Louisette II married the heir apparent to the throne of Teneneron, Fearghas Wardter. Soon after his brother Haiden “went missing” on an expedition, there was no one left to claim the throne of Teneneron, throwing the city into chaos for a brief period of time. This allowed the priest-merchants to seize control of the city turning it from a ruling family into an elected position of elders. 

Event 11

Introduce a new character long before the current time and add them to the top of the tree. 

Roll: 3 Prophecy 

Crienal, for whom the city is named, was a prophet of The God of Ends. They saw their fate in the ghosts that came to visit them each night. They would wail and cry, searching for their corpse so they could finally rest. 

As the Gods’ War raged on, more and more people died, and Cricenal knew their holy duty was to bury and guide their spirits to their final rest. People wouldn’t believe this story if it weren’t for the nightly procession of ghosts each night searching for their bodies. 

Event 12

Death: 4712

Louisette II and her firstborn both died during labour, and left the city without a proper heir. Fearghas was a foreigner and could not inherit the throne. He was stripped of his name and soon left to return to Teneneron, where he attempted to reclaim his title.

Event 14 

Roll: 7 Epithet 

73: Deep 

Sylvette Maribelle Souad Cricenal was a thoughtful and philosophical ruler.

Both families were in attendance and continued forth with the ceremony despite the tempest that raged outside.  It is not known what caused it, but the sound of cracking glass could be heard throughout the entire city as the entire cathedral shattered and collapsed killing everyone inside. 

The only person left of the royal family was Henri, the bitter youngest child of Louisette I. 

Event 17

Roll: 7 Epithet

The Reluctant 

Henri did not want the throne. He didn’t want children, he didn’t want to rule, he did not care about his lineage. He was angry at his sister for sending him away. He was angry at his mother for dying. He was angry at the Gods for killing the family he wished he loved. 10 days after his coronation he disappeared and was never seen again. 

Cricenal was without a ruling family for 300 years until Prophet Maylis claimed the throne in the year 5053 and took the name Cricenal again.
