Nope. Plenty of folk still use Vingkot's kingship rites and they
aren't Vingkotlings. Harmast and Broyan were both tattooed by the
gods as Vingkotlings. To be more precise, they were tattoed as
members of the Royal House of Vingkot - the Kodigvari. Needless to
say, both men absolutely terrified the Esrolian Grandmothers.
