I started my first major family in one hour one life. This was after coming back from a long break, way before the arcs and the rifts.
I named myself eve death, I was in a bit of a rush so it wasn't very creative unfortunately. Found a nice spot where I started making a fire, foraging for food occasionally. I birthed three children, all girls. Two died and one, mave I think her name was, survived after me.
We had built an oven and made several bowls when I died of starvation.
A couple lives later, I was born back into my family as a girl. We had taken over this abandoned village (a village I remember from a previous life, the radishes). I spent my time there trying to get everything back in shape, watering the berry bushes, planting more crops, baking pies. It was when my long lost big sister strode in on horse top, did I discover this village wasn't actually our main home.
"what?" I exclaimed, bowl of flower in hand, "there's a main base?"
She directed me to a road leading east, "go straight that way, until you come across an intersection, then go south until you reach the capital. "
Capital!? My family has a capital?!
So I took her directions (and her horse which she gladly offered to get there faster) and I went forth. Followed the intensely long road until I found said intersection, got out and ate some pie, then south. Several Wells dotted the pathway (as if I wasn't impressed to begin with) until I reached a long fence.
I perused along it, until finding some of my family members moving through a gate (which to my surprise, I owned). I went through it, and found a large settlement with an impressive stable, an armory, a library, a nursery, and a monarchy to boot (king death; so cool). They coexisted with another family: the quants. My descendants had grown into a sprawling multicultural city with a massive network of roads connecting various settlements and communities.
