40d:Relationship
Dwarves (gods, animals) can have relationships with each other. Making and talking to friends gives happy thoughts while the death of a pet, friend, child or spouse gives unhappy ones. Spouses can have children with each other.
The following is a list of known relationships:
There are several additional special relationship listed for the king/queen and their consort and advisor. The dwarves listed in these relationships are not present in the fortress.
- Uncle/Aunt
- Cousin
- Paternal & Maternal Grandparents
Influences
It is unknown whether skills such as conversationalist, intimidator, pacifier, comedian, negotiator, flatterer, consoler, persuader, or judge of intent play a role in relationships, but is suspected that dwarves with vastly different personalities (such as a confident, selfless person vs a nervous-but-arrogant one) will form grudges, while dwarves with similar personalities will form friendships, or even become lovers.
It seems that if a pair of dwarves have a grudge against eachother, if Dwarf A is married and decides to throw a party, Dwarf B will not attend.
