That's the sort of thing I was getting at, both see themselves as the natural rulers of the Empire. Also there is a big cultural difference between the patriarchal family of the Dara Happens and the nest basis of Rinliddi society. However at the same time Vrimak is the Bird of Yelm so there are close ties between the two on a mythlogical level.
