There was also something in QofA about the Thief title might go to one of Gen's nephews since it's now a hereditary title. I think Attolia mentions this to the Mede when he asks about "archane rituals" after interrupting her and Relius.
I think Megan said that Gen would be the last thief somewhere, though.
it sounds like Stenides was well liked, well respected, and didn't have much trouble getting away from the soliderly life. Gen just makes trouble for himself. I'm guessing maybe his sisters didn't stay at court after they married (moved to an estate perhaps?) or maybe, like Sten, they intervened for Gen a few times, but he got into so much trouble, and sometimes the anger of his cousins was justified, that they perhaps got tired of defending him.
That seems to make sense, I'd agree. Maybe his sisters did stay at court but if the whole court is your family in one way or another, I'm guessing family dynamics don't feature as prominently as political dynamics, or perhaps both are bound up together. I'm not sure. Why d'you think Megan largely leaves Gen's family (other than his father and Eddis) out of the story?
