Lanzenave

Lanzenave is a neighboring country of Yurgenschmidt.

One of Lanzenave's premiere export goods to Yurgenschmidt is sugar.

Lanzenave maintains maritime trade with Ahrensbach.

At some point in the distant past, Yurgenschmidt and Lanzenave came to an agreement that allowed Lanzenave to send one of their princesses to live in Yurgenschmidt's Sovereignty and have her children raised there. The first princess to take up residence in the assigned royal villa was Princess Adalgisa. To this day, the children of the resident princesses are called "Seed of Adalgisa," despite the woman herself being dead for centuries.

The daughters of these princesses are raised as princesses of Yurgenschmidt. Of the sons, only a single one is raised to be sent back to Lanzenave, while the others are all disposed of to prevent them from claiming the throne. Should a Yurgenschmidt father of such a son wish it, they can take the child back and raise him as their own. Any son meant to be disposed of, who isn't taken in by their father will be executed.

Because the fathers can never be entirely certain the child is truly theirs and the potential troubles this might cause with their wives, few nobles are willing to take in such a son. One of the few exceptions to this was the Sixth Aub Ehrenfest, who brought Ferdinand back to Ehrenfest to raise him as his own.
