The map should be posted sometime tomorrow; I'm quite nearly done.

Anyway.

---

I am waiting on you four! Lawruh and Sarah Drake have missed two rounds and will be dropped if they do not respond to this one.

---

--And, for people whom I may have accidentally left out, I'm really sorry! I have a horrible feeling there's a lot of you.

It has been seventeen years. In that time, the following things have happened:

---

-Your first daughter's wedding was successful and delightful (she married at age 14), but she turned out to have some fertility problems. After many years, she finally birthed a daughter, which was, well, kind of disappointing. Her husband was bitter, and especially bitter after several more years of fruitless struggles to produce heirs. Finally, four years later, she became pregnant again, but it was a difficult pregnancy and she died during the labor. Still, the babe was a son. The funeral was large and grand and there was much weeping and tearing of hair. Her widow was distraught at her death but delighted at the prospect of having a son. Name the children to reflect mostly their father's heritage.

---

-Oh, you've had three more daughters. The second one died when she was very young from a nasty bout of pneumonia.

---

-Your third daughter was married to the crown prince of your mother's country, and is now a foreign queen with lots of baby bluebloods. Name the husband and children in the language you think the mother was named. (Don't worry, we won't be keeping track of everyone's extended family.)

---

-You turned 70, which is well above the usual life expectancy in your nation. But you've been feeling a bit weak lately, and you think it's time to assure the continuation of your line before you kick the bucket (after all, your father didn't, and you didn't marry until 43!), so you've been asking your advisers to check around for someone appropriate. They came to you last night and told you gleefully that they'd assembled a satisfactory lineup of 7 lovely girls, each of whom would make a wonderful new Queen. You, too, are satisfied with the lineup they've assembled, and you're really stuck for deciding. Later that night, your son came to you and requested your permission to decide for himself. You mull over this a while, and conclude that yes, your son is an intelligent man and he will be making lots of important decisions very soon anyway.

---

So, take a number.

---

-Your youngest son didn't die in the night, but he's remained pale, sickly, and sulky as ever. He spends most of his time reading bad poetry by the creek and riding his horse, but when he's inside he's always glaring at everyone. Pick a nickname for him from this nicknamebank, or make up your own (although there are some pretty fun ones here):

---

(Incidentally, the ages of the dead people are the age they died, and not how old they would be now.)

---

(Also incidentally, it is probably best not to give heirs Roman Numerals until they are actually king.)

If you don't mind, could you bold their names for me to help distinguish them from the titles? Thanks :) (I guess Morag changes to whatever the new title is? If you've worked out the titles, feel free to post them and I can work them in.)
