Of course: I was making a caveat, not a criticism. Though while I'm here...

It's hard to imagine not having any qualified Ernaldans in an Ernalda clan. It's as likely as not having any "qualified Orlanthi" in an "Orlanth clan", which statement is about as redundant as it sounds. If this ever had come up in play, you'd have gotten a bug report about it, rest assured. ;-)
