Or am I missing something and totally off?

Besides, there seems to be a number of recurring names in the story.
- One of the village guards in Leez' village was called Peil Sairofe.
- Riche Seiran's assistant is Ernst Seiran.
- The head of the Atera Magic Academy is called Praul Ajes, but he's 10 generation removed from Jibril Ajes.
- In fact, the magician license that Gandharva took from those Half hunters had the name Hemawati on it.
- Oh yeah, let's not forget Nard Lehn, and Leez' childhood friends Kaz and Haas Lehn.
There are possibly some big family lines in the Kubera world. In China, there are a whole lot of people whose family name is Wang or Zhang for example. Just because two people are close relatives, it doesn't mean that they are necessarily closely related. But at the same time, they Could be.

By the way ... does 18 year old Ran talking about Rao as "Rao-hyung" got any significance other than he is a Rao fanboy?

Clans can become big, complex and octopus-like things, with a representative in every area. <shrugs> With the inherent dangers of Willarv, I'm expecting Clans to be a big thing. Usually, when you have dangers on all sides, one of the most natural human set-ups is the extended family system of the Clan. So, it'd be easy to have the same surname as somebody... but, only be related in the most tangential of ways, as long as clan adoption or marriage sealed the name to both genetic lines.There are possibly some big family lines in the Kubera world.

Wonder if it's actually taboo to marry within a surname? <goes into Anthropologist-mode>
