Sandpoint noble family tree(s)?

[Trace Coburn]

Has anyone has ever drawn up family trees of the various noble families in Sandpoint? I’m looking to place a character as the personal armsman to a young noble, ideally a Scarnetti, and I’m just wondering if anyone’s ever gone to this degree of trouble to track the various lineages.

FWIW, I’m throwing together a chart of the Scarnettis in a Notepad file now (not being a genealogy type, I lack dedicated tools for it), and even an order-of-birth for Titus’ three children would be helpful. (I can always fudge it, I know, but I have this issue with being detail-oriented....)

(OTOH, charting the Kaijitsu family is pretty straightforward. Even with the fidelity issues. :-D)

Enid is Alamon's sister. Alamon had multiple sons, now deceased. Titus is the sole survivor of his siblings.

Delarah married into the family and is the mother to Titus' children. As the order of the children is Elise, Charn, Lianel is the Sandpoint book, I assume that it the order of their birth.

Titu's cousin Adimar is afflicted with lycanthropy were-rat

It's possible that one of Titus' siblings had children before their death and the Armsman serves one of the missing cousins. Gives an outside viewpoint of the town and can open chances for intrigue within the family if you are interested in that as cousins disagree about the nature of business etc.

Thank you for your thoughts. Unfortunately, as it happens, I need a reason to make this fellow a relative insider, since most of the other characters are from out of town. With a little finessing, he’s now the (former) personal bodyguard to Lianel Scarnetti. Backstory and intended story-arc in the spoiler below, for those who might want to mine it for ideas....

Spoiler:

The day before the Swallowtail Festival, Delarah Scarnetti, her son Lianel, the character in question, and a couple of other servants and guards arrive in Sandpoint by ship after visiting family in Magnimar. As they’re disembarking, one of Lianel’s beloved wolfhounds chases a rat off the ship and into the river, jumps in after it, and promptly gets chomped by a reefclaw. Lianel, in this interpretation being a twelve-year-old fellow with an adorable personality somewhere between Draco Malfoy and Joffrey Baratheon, blames the character for the dog’s death and summarily dismisses him from Scarnetti service, including stripping him of most of his gear.

Which will make things even more awkward when Lianel finds himself in Aldern Foxglove’s role in the Festival shenanigans (and losing his other wolfhound to a goblin), thus obliging Titus to reward the former underling he just terminated with prejudice. (And indeed, Titus and Lianel had been strongly considering making that the well-known ‘extreme prejudice’, considering some of the things the guy said on his way out the door.)

(FWIW, this take on the campaign is going to bypass chunks of what would have been The Skinsaw Murders in favour of... well, other events. Including Titus Scarnetti seeing the Nualia/goblin crisis as a perfect pretext to march a large number of mercenaries in Scarnetti livery into Sandpoint, then demand Kendra Deverin step down as mayor ‘in favour of someone who can actually protect our citizens and their livelihoods’. With the local Valdemars under Scarnetti’s thumb and a bereaved Ameiko the only surviving Kaijitsu, he figures he can make a ‘recall election’ stick.)

Are you familiar with the later books?

Spoiler:

During the Giant raid on Sandpoint, Scarnetti manor gets attacked and giant's loot a bunch of stuff, including a desk with enough evidence to lock away Scarnetti.

Indeed I am, and that particular plot-element may, or may not, come into play.

Spoiler:

After all, at the end of the day, a local politician with a small army at his command who gets proven to be as crooked as a dog’s hind leg... still has a small army at his command. “Power flows from the barrel of a gun point of a halberd,” and so forth.
Then again, perhaps I’ve seen Rio Bravo and El Dorado too many times....
