Each character can marry a character of the opposite sex. This solemn union is often a ceremony in the presence of many witnesses, especially if the bride and groom are important lord and lady. Each spouse is considered heir to his spouse. In case of death of the latter, the widow or widower is entitled to the succession, along with other family members. Each spouse also receives the title of consort for each title of nobility held by his spouse. These are honorary titles that do not give any special privileges.
