The 'main' Lavius line is :
Grovner Lavius of Kryptgarden (d)
Ellientte Lavius (alive 108 years old!) - marries her cousin - Vashner Lavius (d)
Grovner Sireco Lavius-Lavius (d)
Sobriety Lavius-Lavius (d)
Janakkes Lavius-Lavius (will contest the inheritance of Nissa)
The main line consider themselves purer decendants of Grovner, and are miffed at merely living in a city
villa. Ellientte was the oldest, then Nirel, then Basiljet.
She considers Nirels line to be reduntant as they are all girls on Silvia's side and Basiljet's line died out
when Kroakus erm.. croaked.
Nirel's son Nirel was an exhile so she considers him to be dis-inherited (getting rather James II here) and
so her grandson Janakkes is the man for the job (Lord of the manor etc).
Humber has named Nissa his heir though and it is perfectly legitimate and sanctioned by the Lords of Waterdeep.
Jannakkes is a nice lad and just does what his granny tells him.
Humber married his 2nd Cousin Eviline. When her cousin Kroakus died with no heir, she inherited the Kryptgarden estate.
The estate will fall to Nissa on the death of Sir Humber.

Sir Humber's father Nirel 'The Black' was an infamous Waterdeep noble who's wickedness eventually had him exhiled from
the city. He went to live with his cousins in the east, where he married a governess called Adelle Godder-Saunders.
They had eight children whom Sir Humber was the oldest of.
Humber returned to Waterdeep as a young man and made a name for himself in the city watch. He then became part of
an adventure party called the 'Garden Party' who operated out of the Lavius Estate, which at that time was
owned by his Uncle Villent. (Villent had inherited the estate from his brother-in-law Thampsen, but having no sons
(just five daughters!) it would fall to his nephew Kroakus on his death)
During that time he woo'ed and fell in love with his second cousin Eviline. When, a few years later, her cousin
Korakus died with no issue, the estate fell to her and Sir Humber became the new lord.
The much older parts of the Lavius family (other Lavius cousins) did not hold well with this 'son of an exhile'
being the lord of the estate, but bound by tradition they had no choice.
However, when Nissa inherits, it is rumoured that a distant cousin, Janakkes Lavius-Lavius, will be brought out
to contest the inheritance.
Eviline, before her death, would often tell her sons, laughingly that at first she feared her husband and that at
that time she had been forced into it by her father, as Sir Humber had amassed a fortune from his adventures and
that this would help keep her four sisters if she married him. Later she did love Humber though.
