Determination of Inheritance

Any inherited birthright is conditional on whether society follows primogeniture (as was the case in England, but not practised by the Carolongians, for example), and the character’s position in the family. For cultures that use primogeniture, the following can be used to determine if a parent or possible elder siblings in line of inheritance are living or dead:

1. If older siblings exist, for their base age add +2 years to the age of the character to find the age of older siblings in sequence, until all ages are determined.

2. Once the age of the eldest sibling is known, the age of the head of the household can found by adding 15 +1D10 years, or in cases of a mother’s remarriage to another partner add 10 +1D10 years.

3. Consult the Table–Determining Family Inheritance at the start of the character’s birth month each year of gameplay. Roll 1D100% for each person between the character and the inheritance.
