Family Instructions
FAMILY CREATION PROCEDURE
-You must lack a family.
-type 'family start <lastname>'
Family name rules:
- must be unique.
- longer then 2 and shorter then 25 characters
- Only contain 'a' to 'z' and a space character.
FAMILY LIMITATIONS
- The family code might be expanded at a later date to allow for family names obtained in a different way, like being introduced into a vampire family or guild based family.
- You cannot leave a family. This will not change in the future.
If these limitations prevent you from using families it is best to just use 'title' for a last name.
FAMILY TREE
Every once in a while a graphical tree of your family will be generated on the website, listing all your familymembers and their ties.

On using your spouses lastname.
Implemented by popular request:
USING SPOUSES LASTNAME
To make your spouses lastname appear in game take the following steps:
Requirements:
- Make sure you and your partner are married.
- Make sure both you and your spouse are in a family. (different families)
We will be using the following partners as example: Chilliwack Strife and Isabelle Dragonkin, where Isabelle wants to adjust her lastname.
Steps to be performed by the partner who wants to change their lastname.
With your spouse online, type one of the following:
- family spouse single (result: Isabelle Strife)
- family spouse combined (result: Isabelle Strife-Dragonkin)
To reset your lastname, type:
- family spouse own (result: Isabelle Dragonkin)
WARNING
If YOU instigate a adoption/claim, your child inherits YOUR original family name, not your spouses!
Make sure when you borrow your spouses lastname, and you want your children to use your spouses lastname, to let HIM instigate the adoption/claim. (for example, if Isabelle uses 'Isabelle Strife' as a lastname and adopts 'Silvanos', silvanos will get the name 'Silvanos Dragonkin' and not 'Silvanos Strife'.).
