Er… I don’t see Miguel under Luis’s children? Or Ellan under Luis’s siblings, but Luis himself is there.
Whoops. *blushes* He was the last one on the list and I put the page up late last night while Morgaine was talking with me about something that had a lot more of my attention. (They’re right next to each other on the spreadsheet, so I probably just copied Luis’ from Ellan’s field.) And I’m pretty sure that I just C&P’d Luis’ kids from Miguel’s “siblings” field on another late night. Thanks for pointing that out Van! (I can call it Freudian slips, I’d like to forget that Ellan and Miguel exist…)
Oh, a world without Ellan and Miguel!
But alas, antagonists are necessary (at least, that’s what I tell myself every time Mordred shows up an isn’t dead yet), and I suppose Ellan’s existence is a precursor to Lyssa’s. And who knows, maybe one of Masen’s brothers is decent.
Question! Who are the Abbeys? Is Tawny’s mother descended from a notable church member/church-raised orphan? Or does Kellie have plans to introduce a new noble/merchant family?
Yep, pretty much, I need Ellan because no Ellan means no Masen, which means no Lyssa. (Plus I need someone to do all of the things that Masen does. It just wouldn’t be nearly the fun without somebody bad to boo every time he comes on screen.)
And actually Masen’s brothers are both decent compared to their father (killer pond scum is decent compared Masen, just saying.) But I have truly high hopes for Warner (who ended up with a ton of nice points.) He could be the one to make everyone not rue the existence of the de Ganis branch that occupies Coxford.
The Abbey surname comes from a spoiler strewn backstory that I can’t tell for REASONS. But yes, it has to do with the church and the name was taken by someone who was raised in an orphanage by the church. The family it belongs to is actually one I’ve concocted from elsewhere (Simspain I think, it’s written down somewhere but I don’t feel like going and finding the chart.) and has another surname, but won’t immigrate until long after COA. You guys will find out more about them later. So I guess the answer would be canonically speaking, there isn’t an Abbey family in Albion during Chronicles times and to the best of what she and I know at this point there won’t be.
I don’t know of any new families that Kellie has plans for right now.
