[name_u]Welcome[/name_u] to Round 8! As always, if you are in any doubt, this link explains the peerage system in more detail
We are now in the 1870’s! [name_m]Add[/name_m] 10 years to everyone’s age.
For all family members, roll a 100 sided dice. If it lands on 1-5, they are dead. If anyone’s spouse has died, you can roll again for a new relationship.
For people in their 70’s, roll a 20. If it lands on 1-5, they are dead.
For people in their 80s, roll a 20. If it lands on 1-10, they are dead.
For people in their 90s, roll a 20. If it lands on 1-15, they are dead.
NOTE: If a titled man dies, his title will pass to his son. If he has no sons, then to his closest paternal relative. If these people do not appear on the CAF, the title will disappear. The widow of a titled man will adopt the title of Dowager. For example - [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Crawley, Dowager [name_f]Countess[/name_f] of [name_m]Grantham[/name_m]. Additionally, if a man inherits a new title, his children’s titles may change too. Be sure to check! Also, I probably should have mentioned that titles are passes down in their complete form - for instance, when [name_u]William[/name_u], the First [name_u]Duke[/name_u] of Devonshire passed away, his son (also called William) became the Second [name_u]Duke[/name_u] of Devonshire.
For adults aged 18 and up, roll a 10 for a new relationship:

- Married

For untitled partners, choose their first name from here and their surname from here.
For male titled partners
Choose a first name from here and a surname from here.
