Some Notes on Relationships

 

     "However, why do you assume that the fathers were all Taralings? Sartarite culture is not patriarchal in that respect. So the Survivor was a Taraling, hubby was from another clan. According to the Colymar Tribe pdf Taralings have "long had close links of marriage ... with the Hiording, Narri [fellow Rune gate clan], [defunct] Lonisi and Varmandi clans." Convenient for Apple Lane thane Baugi. Also, "in the last generation," i.e. your parents, "many of their leaders have been tied through marriage with the Ernaldoring clan." It would be convenient if somebody was a cousin of Ernaldoring Harmast. I recall we figured Baugi and Lagertha were related to a former Taraling clan  chief, so your mother or father could be an Ernaldoring, so I so rule. For the rest, including your two grandmothers, everyone gets their choice from Hiording, Varmandi or Narri, a very horse oriented clan. Or rather, other grandparents." -- John 12:18, 24 Aug 2019

     

     "BTW, marrying outside the tribe is definitely frowned on, so it is perfect that Robbi has an outside the tribe parent, and that nobody else does." -- John 12:31, 24 Aug 2019
