> "Father Dremen" has a late uncle in Outremer who *must appear on the family patent*Father Dremen would have to be on the Personal Family Patent, but the late uncle wouldn't.
>>5957785> The Master is necessary if we’re going to be larping as an heiress- besides, it’ll be invaluable whenever the Inquisition comes a knocking.It could certainly be useful - but it also might raise eyebrows. The typical profile of a Witch is an unusually independent woman, after all ...
>>5957840> I don't think the master has much value because it has to be updated. Right now, assuming the Goodman at the coachhouse checks, both patents need to say that we are traveling with the non-existent Leopold Dremen.If Nasturtium checked Chlotsuintha's Master Family Patent, it would have to show that both her and her father Leopold had been Transported to Outremer. But based off of what Chlotsuintha has seen of Polyergus's Personal Family Patent, the Personal Family Patent wouldn't need to account for anyone else that she was Transported with. And again, from what the Goodman (and by extension, anyone else in the Coaching house) knows of Chlotsuintha and Leopold, there is very little reason to believe that Leopold would even have a Master Family Patent with him. Those are only ever in the possession of the head of the family when the head of the family is moving from one Fief to another (External Transposition) and consequentially must present it to a new Liege for keeping. Outside of that, they are not kept in the possession of Named but Untitled Subjects. Beyond the fact that Leopold has been presented as the executor of his brother's will, there is nothing to suggest that he is the head of his family - and even if he was, I don't see why Nasturtium or one his lackeys would assume that Chlotsuintha had it in her possession, or even ask for it.
> But if we did try to impersonate an heiress, we would need to update the master to say Leopood died and we inherited from him. That either means breaking in and changing the master patent back here or forging whatever paperwork is needed to prove the death of a non-existent man.Considering that Nasturtium or his lackeys have no reasonable cause to ask for the Master Family Patent - let alone assume that Chlotsuintha can produce one - Chlotsuintha might be comfortable just declaring Leopold as dead on the forged Master Family Patent the first time around.
> And we have a perfectly good reason not to have a master patent on file -- we (leopoldina Dremen) just arrived in OutremerYes, this is true. Nasturtium and his lackeys have every reason to believe that the Master Family Patent is back across the Ultimate Ocean. Also, Chlotsuintha decided against Leopoldine, as that was the name of the Starlight Shrike - she went with Wilhelmina instead.
