Jerry Friedman wondered aloud to the group:
>By the way, since we're talking about female Dragaerans too, do Dragons
>ever inherit their "e'" surname from their mother?
I suspect that when two Dragons agree to parent a child, there is an
agreement made as to which line-name the child will bear. Some agreements
will be morganatic, some patrilineal, some matrilineal, some whichever
line-name is of higher prestige, some whichever line is more in need of an
heir.
Note that, apparently from Aliera's case, being half-god doesn't count as
being a cross-breed, which is moderately interesting considering the
general Dragaeran opinion of gods, which implies that cross-breeding with
gods is OK because gods are powerful, not because gods are divine (or
otherwise special).
