I have a question about marriage, specifically whom'st(?) dynasty children belong to.
Most of the time children will always belong to the dynasty of the male, but sometimes they belong to the female although that is rare.
You would need a special marriage for that to happen. How does this go in Spamkingdom? does this work the same?
 
In the case of our current female ruler will the child be of her dynasty(i actually don't know the name of her dynasty) or of Cyl
Also since bjern died his wife (Empress Ruberta I) is now the ruler, but she is from a different dynasty then bjern meaning that his dynasty (also dont know the name) is going to end with his daughter Rinilda
so we have 3 dynasty's 1 is of Rinilda 1 of Ruberta and 1 from Cyl.
seeing as 2 of these three dynasty lines could abruptly end could there be conflict? And how important are the dynasty lines in this world?

Oh no, legalities, my only weaknessss ;F

In Luathbas, Methiant and elsewhere in the region, its always by male. (Females can inherit stuff of their fathers, but they will be legally considered part of their husband's family).

Ruberta is Eldrican (of house Alda), and Cyl is Cydwyllian (of house Dogethe), so we have an interesting situation incoming:

Unless Deathan, somehow, manages to get Emperor'd, Yoean dynasty by its male line is going to get ejected from the throne (the female line persists via Eirika's marriage to Cidric, which produced Cyl of Cydwyl). There's also Ustwelf and Saenn (both sons of Cyl the Great), but Ustwelf is very happy with his life as a Pantheonist hermit and Saenn is running low far in Ysirene lands.

Hmm. I wonder if we could end up with some line hoping? Like the succession switching back and forth between the male Yoean line and a Female Yoean line descended from Cyl of Cydwyl? It'd be kinda weird but cool. We could also just have a daughter of Cyl and Ruberta succeed and marry back into the Male line.

Frankly, we have elective succession, which is quickly becoming my favorite Imperial Institution. Why make crazy schemes for our lineage, when we can just put the best candidate for the job who happens to be remotely related to the Royal Family on the throne?

If we play things right could we possibly see Luathbasian culture and Parsian Culture fuse? I've kinda been interested in the idea since SPAMKINGDOM 1. Luathbasians and Parsians have been my favorites of all the cultures/peoples we've encountered in the game so I just find the idea of getting to be both as a fused Luathbas-Parsian people/culture kind cool. That and we might finally be able to acquire the mythical harem for our ruler.

Okay, so I'm wondering: wizards supposedly are protecting humans from the perils of magic, and this statement is not directly limited to the workings of sorceresses. How do they feel about dwarven blood rituals? Or elven incantations (if that's the right word)? Is some flavor of magic goodlier than others?

Wizards protect humans from evil. Both dwarven magic and elven magic are related to forces of nature, and thus not inherently evil, even if that magic is making people blow up.

[Criptfeind]

Does that mean that the sorceress is inherently evil? I thought I recalled them being explained as inherently chaotic and capricious and cause natural disasters with their magic, but dang, if they are straight up evil maybe we should avoid them more.

Also if wizards are here to protect us from evil, why do we need to do a quest for their help? Or, perhaps, why do they wait for us to finish a quest to help? Sending us on a quest is all well and good but it seems like they'd really want to help us anyway and should go to work right as we agree, even if the quest goer fails or whatever.

[Haspen]

Because like Sorceresses, they're demigod beings and they want to see if mortals can earn their services.

[Criptfeind]

So they are less here to protect humanity from evil and more to amuse themselves watching people scurrying around?

[Haspen]

That's what demigods do v;

I read them as incarnations of self-indulgence, an excess of which is nearly the definition of evil in many philosophies. (No wonder Xaviera Roarecho acted insulted when Luath asked for good health for his family.)

It's less obvious whether mortals are inherently tainted by using them: our flying horse, for instance, has been fielded exclusively against dangerous creatures that we otherwise might have called a wizard to deal with. If a similar end is achieved, are we worse as a ruler? As a person?

(On the other hand, it's strongly implied that wizards do not kill Beasts, instead merely escorting them vaguely elsewhere. So maybe yeah we are that much darker.)
(And on the other other hand, lore strongly implies that the reduction/destruction of magic in the world is natural for humans. Sad, but who will blame us for being ourselves?)

[Kashyyk]

What sort of reputation did Emperor Cyl (and Methiant by extension) have with our neighbours by the time he died? Did we get the one we wanted?

[Haspen]

What do you mean v:

Umm... Why is the main Spamkingdom thread locked?

Edit, now it isn't

[Haspen]

Yeah someone on discord told me it was locked, so I unlocked it. No idea how it got locked in first place v:
