I've always assumed that among the Orlanthi (both Ralian and Heortling), a bloodline is responsible for paying wergild. Two reasons spring to mind: it's added pressure against killing (your family gets grumpy when they have to pay for your deeds), and you might be dead by the time a feud comes to resolution.
