Upon rereading the passage, I had the impression that the son and grandson were the hooman rulers of Safelster who maintained the friendship with the Uz of Guhan. However the Uz do believe that Arkat's blood was strong for when he was a Uzuz, he begat six uzuz according to Trollpak. So patrilinearity may be known in Guhan.
