I'm trying out a new format to capture the "little guys" of writing on this blog.
In Deepwinter Shadows, the Royal Family are celebrities, and that means tabloids care a lot about their relationships. In these modern times, their dating pool is basically "anyone who's a noble" (and plenty of room for being gay), but the Royal Family's lineage has to be carried on by someone. By tradition, their celebrity status and associated royal duties (read: controlled social calendar) pass on by primogeniture – first-born children or closest to it.
