Marriage Material

I can't offer any advice on how to get the two of them to marry I would just say that considering they are first cousins any children they have may have some negative physical traits.... although saying that in my ongoing Carthaginian campaign my best general (who near single handedly conquered Italy) had the epiphet "The Lame" and a -20% movement trait but stick that boy on a horse and watch him crush flanks.

People from the family tree can't marry each other. I'm not sure what you mean by "I want him to have children in this family tree", though. Since he is a member of your family all his children will be part of the family tree anyway (regardless wether he is adopted or not).

Ah whoops I should have specified, good find btw. He was a candidate for adoption, so there will be no consanguinity from thier union! You can kind of see his younger step brother next to him.

Yes your right, I wasn't too clear. Basically I want him to marry her as he was an adopted son in that family bracket. Family tree is what he is currently in (and what I incorrectly made refence to).

I edited the OP, thanks.

Ah... that explains it. I was wondering how he managed to outgrow his brother.

Consanguinity, I like this word, I will use it in conversation more often.

It came up in one of our diagnosis cases. Use it, it's a nicer way of saying inbreeding ;-)

To clear that up: Consanguinity doesn't equal inbreeding, it rather describes the pre-existing blood relationship between two people which constitutes inbreeding if they produce offspring.

Generally based on the shared grandparent rule.

Anyways, if anyone has any solutions to the OP, would be great!
