Now for my actual contribution:
In order that the children of married commoners are considered legitimate Pillar members, in order to keep from becoming inbred (as mentioned earlier), married common orcs and humans are considered honourary Pillar members of the lowest rank, but pillar members nonetheless, if only by technicality. Because of House Kiron's "secret" elven emancipatiton, this means that sometimes former Masks have become Dal-Kiron by marriage. The most dangerous outcome of this, at least in the eyes of most Eyrians is Saervyl Dal-Kiron, an elven wizard who is Dal-Kiron by birth, born to two elves in a quartet marriage. This sets a dangerous precedent indeed, for even the progressive House Malarn precludes elven wizards from its members, and the honourary Dal-Malarn does not pass on to the children of the honoured non-human. For all that Saervyl seems kind and harmless, he is widely despised for what he is, and if it weren't for the efforts of his Chalkut'Dorun (an Eyrian equivalent of Godparent, although unlike Godparents there is only one), Saint Lasair, to protect him, he would have surely died in one of several assassination attempts against his life. Vazya Krazan Dal-Zhal, an orcish scion who ordered at least one of the assassination attempts, has recently attempted to contact the secretive assassin "Stheno," who is in actuality Skuldira of the Midnight Cruor.
