Family Ties

Lord Nicolai has had a tumultuous love life. He married his first wife Mary-Anne when they were both 16, but she died of a strong cold a few months later. At 19 he married his second wife Roseli, who bared his two sons, but she died in childbirth along with their third child. He married his third wife in Skyla at the age of 33, and is still married to her to this day, but they never had any offspring. A rumour says that he lost a bed with a devil and had to give away his ability to have more offspring.

His first born son died of tuberculosis shortly after his mother died, while his second son drowned in a well when the child was 7.
