Weave a dynasty

Suggests a few generations for a house: plausible lifespans, marriages into allied (now and then rival) houses, and the odd usurper, named in your language. ๐Ÿ”’ keeps a person through the next Weave, ๐ŸŽฒ rerolls just that one, Keep adds them all to the tree, where you can edit them.
