In somebody's alternate universe Andery Kerensky creates a Trial of Propagation or such where non-800 worthies could establish their own bloodname and bloodhouse (Ethan Moreau being the first). ![]() The mistake the Clans collectively made here, IMHO, was in blindly exalting youthful trueborn superiority rather than acknowledging the advantages experience and freeborn 'randomness' could bring if added to the mix. Phelan Kell noted that one of the ironies of this system is that Kerensky's intended meritocracy turned into a lineage-based rulership in each Clan. Merit plus having the right ancestors, at least as far as the warrior caste is concerned.
