Oh, I know, but it was only kinslaying if the definition of the bloodline
extends up that far. I'd have figured Umath to be the bloodline's founder.
If we stretch it beyond that, to include gods outside the storm tribe, then
the whole God's War is one big orgy of kinstrife. (Reminds me of the medieval
Catholic church's problem: it's a sin to marry a blood relative of any degree,
yet we're all descended from Adam & Eve ...) Then again, that sounds like a
valid explanation from a solar viewpoint.
I still think something fishy is going on with Vadrus and Ragnaglar, and the
new stuff in TR (p.146) tickles my intuition even more.
