I'm rounding out the story of a new follower, and now have questions about Heortling visitation rights for non-custodial parents.
Ashgora and her husband have divorced. Ashgora has returned to her birth clan, leaving behind three small children.
All things going normally, will Ashgora get to see her children again, and in what circumstances? Taking the kids to a holy day ritual? Fostering them when they're older?
Looking ahead, would Ashgora normally have a say in choices about the children's education, veto about who they can be fostered with, involvement with their initiation (especially of daughters), and input into their marriages?
Is it possible that Ashgora will be expected to shut the door on that chapter of her life and not see her children again? There's a complicating factor in that her kin have resettled in Dragon Pass, while her ex-husband's kin are probably still in Heortland.
(How on earth did Heortlings become patrilineal? And how did Ernaldans let it happen?)
Cheers,
Jennifer
