Welcome to Ardenvale

Alright, let's get this going :D I'll be attempting to play tedsies medieval legacy challenge. I've never played a period game, and I have no time to invest in the proper research. I've decided to take the maxis approach to accuracy, so it's medieval-ish at best. Fantasy-ish. Medieval-adjacent?
All entries will be posted here on my dreamwidth, with highlights and outtakes posted to my tumblr. It's been ages since I've used this interface, so it'll be an adventure.
Anyway, time to meet the Vale sisters (and their spouses), who I'll be playing rotationally, rolling a medieval ROS challenge every new season (except the first one). With my ROS luck, they'll all be death before winter, but let's try to be positive ><

The Vale Family - Aveline and her husband Edmund
Aveline Vale was 8 years old, when she met a boy at the fair. That evening she proudly proclaimed she would marry him, and no one else.
Edmund Vale believes himself the luckiest man in all of Simdinavia. How many men can say they've married their best friend? They're both very excited to start their lives in the hills of Ardenvale.
The Haywise Family - Linnea and her husband Caleb
But meeting his perfect partner at the market, a week before his initiation, was a clearly sign. The Watcher had other plans for him.Linnea Haywise-Vale was teased endlessly by her sisters over falling in love with a priest. Their courtship was short, but why wait when The Watcher themselves has given their blessing?
The Somerwell Family - Evaine and her wife Rune
Both Aveline and Linnea will swear before The Watcher that Evaine Somerwell-Vale is their sister, but what about her unusual complexion and purple eyes?Rune sensed something old whispering underneath her skin, which is why the two started studying together. And during those long study sessions, curiosity and understanding blossomed into something more.
