Welcome to Round 2! As always, if you are in any doubt, this link explains the peerage system in more detail
We are now in the 1810’s! Add 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.
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 - Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham.
For adults aged 18 and up, roll a 10 for a new relationship:
- Single
- Engaged
- 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.
Roll a 8 for a title.
1. Duke (wife is a Duchess, for example, Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire)
2. Marquess (wife is a Marchioness, for example, Mary Hill, Marchioness of Downshire)
3. Earl (wife is a Countess, for example, Elizabeth Greville, Countess of Warwick)

If you got a Duke, Marquess, Earl or Viscount - choose a place name from here.
For female titled partners

Roll a 4 for a title -
- Lady (if she is marrying a titled man, her title will change (see info under male titled partners.) If she is marrying an untitled partner, her title will stay, but she’ll take her husbands surname. For example, Lady Catherine Fitzwilliam married Mr de Bourgh, and so she became Lady Catherine de Bourgh.)
- The Honourable (if she is marrying a titled man, her title will change (see info under male titled partners.) If she is marrying an untitled partner, her title will stay, but she’ll take her husband’s surname.
