A term given to the semi-officially recognized bastards of the Siddoways, the ruling family of the duchy of Asbury in Cascadia<\/a>. Bastardy remains a tricky concept in the kingdom. Its varied cultures and religions practice differing forms of marriage, and have widely disparate views on children born outside of a contracted marriage, whatever form it takes. \u00a0The Guardian Paladins are the rulers of the country, however, and the Siddoways are Guardian Paladins. That church<\/a>\u00a0has had to deal with the consequences of a decimated populace since the Great War<\/a>,\u00a0 and its views on extra-marital sex are changing as a result, however,\u00a0 church teaching frowns upon bringing children into the world outside the stability, support, and connections a Paladin-standard marriage provides. The Rose Line was the Siddoway family’s attempt to create a loophole in the interpretation of religious teachings to cover their widespread exploitation of their serving class.<\/p>\n

A Rose Line baby’s name is recorded shortly after birth and, for example, is listed as “John Rose-Smith.” \u00a0The “Rose” is always \u00a0first, and is followed by the non-Siddoway family name. When John eventually marries, he can choose which of his surnames to use in joining with his partner’s.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that it’s not only the Siddoway males who contribute to membership in the Rose Line. Though the highest-ranking Siddoway women spend a fortune on expensive contraception every year, the less-wealthy members have given birth to Rose children with dismaying regularity over the years. The naming convention remains the same – the non-Rose name is usually the father’s family name.<\/p>\n
