Fantasy rival clans lineage

A rival-clans lineage tree makes a political marriage easy to understand. Draw each clan's founders as a separate couple, then add their adult children underneath. Connect the characters whose marriage joins the two branches, and place their children below that union. The result distinguishes a birth family from the new alliance without relying on a long explanation. It is useful for fantasy stories and games where family ties shape diplomacy, territory, or succession. Keep the chart focused on the characters involved in the conflict, then use notes for clan customs, titles, and motives that do not need a place in the relationship structure.
