Yelmalions and Orlanthi sharing clans is _not_ the norm and they have not shared clans for centuries. Yelmalio is practically a new faith introduced into the Dragon Pass era from Prax in Tarkalor's realm just over half a century ago. Before that time, virtually all Solars in the region were Elmali.

But killing a member of your bloodline still _is_ kinstrife regardless of whether it can be dealt with by clan laws. Storm Bull was dissuaded from killing Ragnaglar once on those grounds according to KoDP.
