Is the Conte family heavily inbred? So, AFAIK we never get a full family tree for the entire nobility of Tortall, for obvious reasons, but it would fit.

My primary inspiration for this is how few children they seem to have, especially for a royal family. Now, healing magic probably means "death in childbirth" and "50% of children don't make it to age 20" are less common in Tortall, so the impetuous to have like 8 kids just in case is lessened. EVEN SO, Jasson III has 2 children(Roald V and someone we don't know) who live to have kids of their own. Each of those sons has one son who is alive at the start of the series(King Jonathan IV and Duke Roger). And it took 5 years after the marriage for Roald and Lianne to have Jonathan. That's just poor decision-making for a Royal family. Not to mention that Duke Roger either never married or something happened to his marriage, and this wasn't mentioned despite him being in his 30's during the series. Why would the man who is both wealthy and third in line for the throne not have a wife?

Now, again, we don't have a family tree. But Roald was married to a Naxen, one of the oldest families in Tortall with close ties to the royal family. Jasson married outside the country, to a noblewoman from Barzun, except that Barzun has married into Tortall regularly enough that the names get confusing. Jonathan married a Scanran princess with no blood ties to anyone and she proceeded to pop out 6 children in like 8 years. This isn't proof of anything, but I'm just saying, introduce some new genes to the pool and suddenly the Conte family is having children again.

video is mildly funny but this comment killed me

"Before I knew it, he'd become the center of my life. Then they took him from me..."

Fitz and Burrich are so special to me 😭🙏🏻

this was a long undertaking but i’m beyond excited to post what i believe is the most comprehensive daemon-finding quiz to date, featuring 34 categories of animals and over 320 total possible outcomes! from insects to owls to seals to wild cats, you’re sure to find a unique result that fits your personality.

tag or comment what your daemon would be! :) mine’s a cocker spaniel!

this is pretty heartbreaking for me since this was the first big quiz i ever did and i can’t edit it anymore because ex.co is on a subscription-only basis now — all of the links to the sub-quizzes were removed, i’m guessing ex.co doesn’t allow links in results now. a real bummer because it breaks the quiz. :(

for anyone who’s still taking this, attached are all of the subquiz links!

Oops, I never uploaded this one to Tumblr (which I only realized when someone else did, but then was kind enough to tag me, thank you)!

Weeee finally a new chapter ! Enjoy!
