The campaign revolves around a heavily depleted exiled Sartarite clan. The non descendant PC's are allowed to participate in discussion in the moots but 'till now not have positions within the tribe. The moots are a high point (IMO) of the game and the political maneuvering is too. To be honest the spirit-cult magics are the least of the PC's concern. The question arose because some players wanted their non descendant PC's to have the potential to become spiritual clan member.
