Ensuring Legacy

Arturian, after this self-reflection on how he had raised his children first led to him to a few attempts to try to fix the situation.

Getting with another woman and having more children, then raising them right this time was out of the question after the tragedy that occurred earlier in the year.

This is important because it means they were not impressionable like children are. Some of them even had families of their own. In other words, his children likely already were who they would be for the rest of their lives.
