4) Accept that chieftains who don't come from Orlanth Allfather/Ernalda
Allmother are at a certain disadvantage. They'll be missing some
specialty magic which is very useful if you're running a clan or tribe.
But that seems fair, since the people who *are* in Orlanth
Allfather/Ernalda Allmother are getting some magic that's bloody useless
*unless* you're running a clan or a tribe. It's the old specialization
tradeoff again--give up flexibility and you get more power at the thing
you specialize in.
