    Why retrain the King to picking the successor from the deceased Duke' s House ? If the KIng could choose to allot the land to any high-ranking noble (Count or above, say) it would help keep some Dukes in line or would enable to shift the balance of power between Houses.

    What if an avatar who dies has no son of age yet ? Can the future heir be named in the will ? Will a steward be named until the avatar appears in game ?

    I think the intention is to maintain the integrity of the House.

    I would say yes to all - the Steward idea is a neat one.
