One thing that occurred to me last night, is that in KoDP, there are a number of illustratons of elderly women in the clan who are clearly acting as though they are members of the clan's bloodline, the Nalda Bin vs Original Clan bloodline quarrel being the best example. Who are these women? Are they all "Esrolian wives" or "Over-wives" that have husbands from other clans? Likewise women on the ring, do nobles tend to bring in husbands from other clans? Evidently not always, because some of the events involve the marrying off of various chiefs' daughters to other clans.
