Let's start close and intimate, shall we?
Family
- Where did Tiegen grow up?
- I gather from her title that the family's of some small (or great) repute. How did that affect her childhood?
- Are both of her parents still in the picture? If not, why, what happened, and how did that affect Tiegen?
- Does she have any siblings? If so, how many? What's her position in the birth order? What are her siblings like? What's her relationship like with each of them?
Give me names for each of the family members you end up detailing.
If you have no clue, I'd suggest rolling dice, and then just build the story around what you roll.
Given the Nobility angle, I'd suggest using the Family Size (City) table on
Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p193.
Roll
1d3 for the number of significant relationships in the family, and then roll once for each of these on the Family Relationships table on p194. Note that it does not have to be immediate family either. Aunt/Uncles/Cousins/Grandparents are all fair game for these. The idea here is that the relationship is close, personal, and too powerful on the emotional scale to discount entirely.
Note that you may gain Allies and Rivals as a result of the family relationships rolls. These allies and rivals do NOT have to be within the family (though they might end up that way) -- just note how many you end up with; we'll discuss these further down the track in the history.
I have shared all my sourcebooks on dndbeyond with the players in the campaign. If you've joined the campaign when submitting your character sheet, these links should work for you. Let me know if they don't.
