Hi! I'm a HUGE fan of legends mode, and I occasionally enjoy making huge worlds, letting them run until lots has happened, and then going into legends mode to explore it.

I've done this before, but this story is so much better.
I traced a family tree from the year 1642 all the way back to the first of its kind in year 0. I figured it would be interesting to see how this family lived and such.

Although not any old family can do, it HAS to be the family of the woman who killed a dragon!

A few things you should know..
*Heavily modded raws, I removed all races except human and made humans work for fort mode. This shouldn't affect the story much though.
*The information isn't formatted to look amazing, but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to read it easily.
* "*Lived and died" - Means they were boring and had no significant life.
*Lineage is based on mothers only. So, for example.

[EXAMPLE]

(Urist McDaughter) - Start here, the highest is the most recent and is the daughter of the person below them.
^
(Urist McMother) - McMother is mother to Daughter, and is the daughter of grandma.
^
(Urist McGrandma)

Anyway, start at Cusal Brandtest, and work your way down.

Honestly, not sure if anyone will care about this, but I just thought it was very cool to trace Cusal's ancestry only to discover her family has contributed science, technology, and was even royalty before.

Thanks for reading? Questions greatly appreciated and encouraged, a few things struck me as interesting. I didn't know people could discover things new to the world, and I didn't know that the game could trace 2000 + years of family history. :P

I always love me some Legends history.
Do you have "cull unimportant people" turned off or however it is called?

Yes, I have it turned off. I heard it deletes the nitty gritties, so I'll sacrifice some time in world gen for a fleshed out story. :)
