The fact that the different species can mate throws open a whole lot of interesting questions.

Â Also with out any lore set in stone about it other than that they can breed we could have a situation on our hands where the offspring or their offspring are infertile and couldn't mate at all.

S'allright. I'm a scientist too IRL. I know that in the real world, there'd be cross over since clans are more like our human RACES IRL. I'm just going off what I see in game (If one actually got passed the cultural differences of the more tribal ones and did mix clans, there's no evidence of clan traits mixing other than the tail options now becoming non-clan specific. You just don't see ashen skin-tone Seekers of the Sun or Keepers born without fangs, and such). Of course, genetic flukes can happen I'm sure. And this is just my opinion on things based on my own observations.
