@Dake_Sparrow wow, thank you for that. And you’re completely right, I will rethink these elements.
As for the inheritance part, the ruling families are always the same, so it’s mostly inside the family, but I took into consideration the option of adopting someone in the family, for them to become heir. The thing is, if there’s more than one child in the family, only the recognised heir will keep the family name after marriage (I was planning on introducing that later on).
