Edward's son

Posted by Apostate on 02/17/18
Baron Edward Stormbreak takes responsibility for his illegitimate son Marshal, born out of wedlock with the commoner Alarie. With completely reliable birth control and the emphasis of the Faith of the Pantheon on fidelity and responsibility, any illegitimate child is at best seen as a sign of immense carelessness on the part of a parent, particularly among the nobility who take marriages as part of their duty that justifies their ranks and privileges over commoners. Still, taking responsibility is seen as meeting their obligations as a parent, so while it's a black eye that calls into question Edward's seriousness as a peer of the realm and reflective of his time when he was denobled and made a commoner, none are seriously calling for him to be cast from the peerage or excommunicated.
