Help[Games] *Grand Imperial Congrats* -- Round 3
All right. Rules!
--If you're dropping, tell me.
--If you miss more than 3 rounds without warning me, I will either kill or marry off your family.
--Expect a new round every, oh, 1-2 days. Except on Friday, when I'll be leaving town and coming back Monday. I'll announce this later on too.
--Bold indicates either that you're incomplete or, in this round, that I have a question about whether you'd like me to keep up with you or not.
----(And I think I've missed/am waiting on tons of people, incidentally, so if your family isn't here, just post it. I'll incorporate it next round.)
--Italics are my comments.
--I'm going to start filling in the map on, say, 5:30 my time Sunday afternoon, so respond before then if you want in on it.
--If I feel like catching you up myself, I will. If I haven't provided any namebanks or anything for you, just do what you feel. I'll link to old rounds so you can read about what you're doing and follow the rules if you feel so inclined.

Round 2: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=2997589&board=game
A map is in the making, because I was so intrigued by your stories. (If you want to say anything more about your geography, you're welcome to.) But I thought since a lot of this is being based around languages, it might be fun for someone to pick someone else's unimportant great-niece or something for the wife of their Crown Prince. So, what do you guys think about interacting eventually? I'd love to hear your opinions.
But we're certainly not interacting yet. :) The six bachelorettes were high-ranking noblewomen from neighboring countries, selected to strengthen trading ties. What sort of noblewoman she was is up to the roll of the die:
http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=6&col=5&base=10&format=html&rnd=new
1. Princess
2. Duchess
3. Marchioness
4. Countess
5. Viscountess
6. eep, roll again. We don't want you marrying below a viscountess. And, just for good measure, add "high" or "grand" before the next one you roll.
*Replace any of these titles with the equivalent peerage title in your country, if it's different. Or, you know, disregard this completely*
(For formatting, I suggest "her imperial highness blah blah blah Maria Luisa Elizabetta Angerona Hallelujah, Queen Regent or w/e of Yourcountry and High Duchess of Rome." I think traditionally they maintain their old titles?)
They have namebanks. And you can pick their maiden names if you want them to have them.
In the meantime, WOOSH! Ten years go by. And you've produced five children! Three girls - the third died during childbirth - and... a boy! Finally! An heir. He is a dear, he is healthy and red-skinned and robust. He is the little darling of the nation. The next one's scrawny and pale, he probably won't make it through the year. That's okay, though. Boy no. 1 has everything covered.
The children should be named according to the traditions of your country, which means it's probably wise to reflect heritage. (If you are Carl Hermann Otto V, by the way, and your son is Carl Frederick Orange, he'll still be Carl VI when he becomes king.)
Your first daughter is a stunner, and she's being eyeballed by all sorts of high-ranking men throughout the continent. What sort of man do you want her to marry?
-A local, high-ranking nobleman to garner support among the aristocracy?
-A local, low-ranking nobleman to gather support among the commoners?
-A foreign nobleman to strengthen trade ties or prevent warfare?
-The handsomest man on the market? (Your advisors aren't keen on this one.)
