Family in Farin

From The Inquisition Legacy
Jump to: navigation, search

Due to its close proximity to Daravi lands, the Farin Duchy has been for some time under constant threat of attack. Old habits die hard, and for this reason the ability to produce children -- especially children who will grow up to serve and protect the front -- is highly valued by the Farin people. Families with fewer than four children are almost unheard of, and it is not uncommon for a widow/er to remarry relatively quickly after the death of his or her spouse. In addition, many Farin men who have served on the front return to marry women who have just reached the marriageable age of sixteen (help En Passant). To a lesser extent this holds true in reverse as well, and thus couples whose ages differ by ten years or more (in either direction) are perfectly commonplace and, in certain small areas, encouraged. Annulments are uncommon, unless the couple fails to produce a child within a few years, in which case most Farins would not think twice.
