Quill
King: Farin, son of Frár
King: Ibûn, son of Torbûn
Adopted son:
Tyr
Of the illustrious
Royal House of: Durin
In the Kingdom of: Erebor
Farin decides to adopt the boy - he can't help but feel responsible in some way, even though the one who came to bring the child was lying. Farin has been faithful to Ibûn; he has to be, since their marriage is shameful as it is. What he doesn't know is that the child was born from a rather unprincely one-night-stand before he even met Ibûn, and it
is his child. Ibûn believes Farin but is not very fond of
Tyr at first. He doesn't like young children very much, and
Tyr is only 18 months old. Once he knew how to handle him - which took some time, as neither had any experience with younger siblings or other kids -
Tyr started to grow on him, though.
Farin has also made the decision to keep
Tyr hidden, and not make him his heir. He doesn't know what to do when
Tyr is older and it probably will get out that he has an "illegitimate" son, but he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it.
I haven't done many congrats with stories, so I was wondering if it's custom to copy + paste your story as you go along, as well as your family?
Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood -
