Q: has Malphene Trant been taking her mulibrous tincture for 6 months or more. Thank you.
There's no set timeline for Malphene, but her coming out as a young lady is described as "recent," so for the teenage timescale that probably means in the past 2-3 months. Given her... development, she was likely taking doses privately for months before this, so she's probably been taking the tincture for 6-12 months.

What are the monsters in this one? Why nobody asks that anymore?
That's one of the first question people ask whenever a new adventure path installment comes out. This is no exception.
Hi Crystal!
My campaign has 6 players and, um... well... my adjustment for 6 players was that I doubled the number all Silent Initiates in that warehouse (except for Smiley the Third)
Yeah, I went a little nuts, which caused the death of one PC, but the group prevailed still.
What are your recommendations to adjust things for 6 players in general? (because my doubling the encounter did not seem to be the proper level of adjustment... :P )

Not that there is any time for hex exploration (and Taldor should be one of the most thoroughly explored nations of the Inner Sea), but this is still pretty amazing. You should post it on the War for the Crown sub-forum. :)

Good work needs to be acknowledged. :)

Stavian III, Stavian seems to be a first name. What's the family name of royal house?
I don't think that is ever stated. The legendary founder of Taldor is Taldaris, so you could call the royal family of Taldor the House of Taldaris. That being said there are a lot of gaps in the named Grand Princes in the 5,862 years between the death of Taldaris and the ascension of Eutropia Stavian IV so it is safe to assume there probably were at least a few cases where the main line died out and was replaced with a cadet line.
Edit: In fact I just dug a bit deeper on the wiki. Grand Prince Beldam II (d. 4499 AR) died childless and adopted Micheaux, a Taldan nobleman, as his legal successor. So the current royal family if actually still descendants of Taldaris are a distant cadet branch. Micheaux was the father of Stavian I and most of the Grand Princes since have been named Stavian, so I would call the current royal family the Stavian dynasty.

It seems like a family name, but I still have 2 questions.
Firstly, Why the successor, the third son of Stavian I is not Stavian II, but Dominus II ? there are 200 years from Stavian I, there might be some other Grand Prince who is not called Stavian. After all, it is just the third Stavian now.
Secondly, Stavian I is the first son of Micheaux the Significant, Why a new dynasty?

It's fairly common in Western (Earth) monarchies for names of the ruler to skip generations. The ruler uses his or her own name (or a name they choose upon becoming monarch); they aren't required to use the same name as their predecessor. If it happens to be the same as any previous monarch in the dynasty, it gets an incremented Roman numeral. In England, for example, there were about 350 years between Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II. Even when male primogeniture was the law George IV was followed by William IV, followed by Victoria, followed by Edward VII, followed by George V.
Secondly, Stavian I is the first son of Micheaux the Significant, Why a new dynasty?
MVulpius is suggesting that the dynasty would start with Micheaux (since he was not a blood relative of Beldam II). And that the new dynasty could be called Stavian simply because that has been the most common name since Micheaux. I don't personally agree with either of these ideas, but neither of us is provably right or wrong since there just isn't enough information.
If the monarch adopts an heir, he probably is just going to change the law if necessary to say that the adopted person is legally a member of his house. (Adopting talented adult males to pass on a business with the family name intact and unbroken is a practice legally recognized and centuries old in Japan.) The other suggestion (that it is likely the line was replaced with a cadet line a few times) is reasonable but unprovable. Also unknown (I think) is whether younger sons adopt new house names or keep the same as older brothers.
Any way it shakes out I'd use MVulpius's first suggestion and call the dynasty some variation on the name Taldaris. Probably just "House Taldor."
