Patricians - The Lazim Family
The fourth and final Patrician home was filled by the one and only Lazim family. Thanks to his parent's seeming ability to bear only girls, Ferrar was the only surviving male in his generation. And despite his and Polly's best efforts, they had produced only one male heir, Marduk, along with four girls. Ferrar's hope was to produce more boys, despite that they had already reached the four child requirement for a Patrician family. After all, he and Marduk represented the only surviving branch of the Lazims! Should something happen to his son, the family line would be extinguished.
Polly Lazim did not show it, but she was exhausted. Five children so far and Ferrar wanted more. Somehow she just hadn't been able to provide the many boys he desired. Ferrar was pressuring her to try again, and she did not know how many more pregnancies she could handle.
Oded Dubois, son of Penny Dubois and Darren Chbihi, was the resident slave. Polly was his aunt, which pleased Ferrar. No need to worry about his slave trying to flirt with his daughters. Missi was going steady with a Plebeian boy, which was bad enough. The number of available and unrelated noble bachelors in Rome was, however, admittedly low. He supposed that he would just have to put up with whomever his daughters were able to find. Just no slaves.

Family Life
Tragedy
My goodness, this was frustrating! Is the game really so determined to end the Lazim family name? Seven children and SIX girls? The flu strikes and only the family males get struck down? The Grim Reaper says no to a plea from a desperate mother? At least there was drama!
