Easterners are not. I think in the depressing books Cawti says Easterners suffer from not having sorcery, and Vlad says they could buy a title in the Jhereg or move to the countryside and swear to a lord, which I presume means joining the Teckla. I further presume that urban Teckla without a lord over them are a kink in the original system design. Note Paarfi happily answered the question of how links are usually passed on to children.
