Why is it important to have a family? Why is so much importance placed on leaving behind a son or a daughter..?

Casual, what then of the future? When you have cast off this mortal cloak, ped into the sweet Summerland, when you have logged off YA one last time, who then shall speak of you? Who shall sing of your story? Who shall carve the tales of your accomplishments into the runestones? Who shall look upon your dagger and upon your dirk and, there weeping, remember your journey? Tap lightly upon your drum and thus transcribe your footsteps? Would you else leave the runestone barren? Sing no more of home.
