>> Once you're a citizen, your kids have the option to become citizens.
>Says who?

Common sense if nothing else. It's clearly how Dragaeran society works. It's
axiomatic. If we have to find some sort of textev to be convincing, then I'd
recommend the re-emergence of the orb from the Paths of the Dead. Every
Dragaeran alive, even those who had been born during the Interregnum, felt
the pull of the Orb and were offered a choice to link or not. Children are
clearly given a choice by the Orb itself.

Does the Orb call to the child of a naturalized Easterner? Open question,
but Citizenship is one of the rights and priveleges of being titled. Titles
of nobility are clearly heritable under normal circumstances. Again, you
have to show that titled Easterners are an exception, not challenge someone
to prove that they're not.

>Incorrect - see earlier.

I'm afraid you'll have to quote it for me again, then. I don't see any such
evidence when I "see earlier". Just a lot of speculation.
