Pregnancy and Fertility

This is the official fertility system being used by the sim. All activity that could result in procreation must be rolled for. Moon tea must be acquired from a maester or an apothecary crafter in-character. If one is not available, please submit a ticket to the story team to have an NPC household Maester or local Maester perform the required rolls to make the tea.

*Throwbacks would be traits that perhaps haven't shown up in a few generations such as great grandmother Baratheon's black hair or perhaps an ancestor with two-toned eyes. Another example could be Tully freckles from three generations back. These traits are within reason as they must keep in theme with the setting and established family trees.
