I think the family history can certainly use some reworking. Perhaps we should get rid of the structure we have now, and change it into something more visual. Perhaps some kind of timelines per character, with colour codes?

Like:

Character one: Timeline starts, green colour (green for Dwilight). After four months, the character gains a Lordship ("Event" on the timeline. Graph line changes into a double line? Triple for Duke? Swords for General?). After a year, the character gets deported to the Far East, background changes into Purple. Lordship and positions are lost.

I'm just saying. I'd like something where you can easily see what has happened to someone. Key point is readability, because the current system seriously lacks there.
Graphs displaying family wealth and fame could be displayed.
