Who will be Regent after 495? Will the count remarry?

Otherwise, nice to read about your game. KAP have a special feeling no other roleplaying games have.

Roderick pretty much has to if he wants to have a male heir. Robert hasn't born yet, so I'd expect the Count to remarry quick and the second wife to take over Ellen's place as the dowager countess and mother to Robert. Heck, she'd probably be younger, too, and hence more desirable marriage prize.

Of course, if the children were randomised as well, who knows how many kids Roderick already has. And in our campaign, Robert managed to die in 512, resulting in Salisbury being inherited by his sister and brother-in-law. The current Count (530) is Count Roderick, named after his grandfather.

Maybe the new wife will be greedy, and plot to kill Jenna to make room for her own children...

Or Jenna will be the heiress and future countess. You could adapt the Rydychan usurpers campaign to Salisbury too. Good Stuff.

Otherwise, I forgot what lands countess Elain owns. What happens to them? Many good questions!

Anna's Water, IIRC. It is in Warlord. Jenna would inherit it, as the only heir of Ellen's body.

As for taking Jenna out... No need, as long as you can give birth to a son. Now if you want to make it really interesting, have the Count remarry, be childless and then see Salisbury fracturing between the beautiful, marriageable age dowager countess and the still-a-child but legitimate heiress Jenna.
