Inheritance and the Men of the Four Lands



Humans generally follow the presumption of inheritance shown above following the male line. A man will grant his wealth down three generations to sons, grandsons, and great grandsons. Having none eligible, his inheritors will be sought in sibling males and then nephews. Having none eligible, his inheritors will be sought among uncles, cousins and their male children.

Nothing in human law prevents the use of a written testament to record how personal property will be disposed of in the untimely death of a nobleman, but the will regarding real estate and titles will generally follow the presumption above, or the lord will make sure that his liege is well-informed of any desired deviation.
