If the rulers of Basim still actively practice Basmol worship, I'm sure they still get their transformation magic. The Basmoli of Prax do, and there hasn't been a lion seen in the Wastes since the Great Darkness.

Lions might be born to Basmoli mothers, but I suspect they are born dead (or sterile, at best). In any case, I do not believe that _all_ Hsunchen peoples give birth to their totem animals and vice versa. In fact, I think this is a fairly rare occurrence. I believe, for instance, that among the Fronelan Rathori, cross-births only occur on ceremonial occasions.
