I'm sure the position changes hands enough to avoid truly excessive inbreeding.This right here is what I am afraid of. The reason I killed off my character and left WoW. A similar idea was being imposed on me, I felt violated OoC when a reasonable request to fade to black on the kinky bits was met with hostility. The guy in question was considered respectable by the community so instead of going against the grain I killed her off ICly. (Since the man acted like IC and OoC were one in the same.) My husband also wasn't happy with the way the guy acted like he owned me OoC as well with all the lewd comments over vent infront of others and threw a fit when my husband told him to back off. Since then we decided we do not want to engage with anything that enforces an idea remotely like that. I still want Rhynka to be mysterious, exotic and feral but I don't like the whole challenging the Nuhn system there.
Not to mention tribes might trade members for any number of reasons.
The Seeker clan system is not a healthy way of life for humans, and we shouldn't be overtly trying to engage in it. We should try to understand it, though, so we can see the cultural context for Seekers of the Sun, whether as players of them or of other races interacting with them. It's about background, things that may have happened in the past of a character, not about things that should play out except as something they might struggle to overcome. Even then, it shouldn't be about whether they will succeed, but about how they will.
