But you've teased out virtually all of the facts about lines from my haphazard posting anyway.Dark/Creative/Willful seems like a good mental image. I certainly don't using that as a roleplaying straightjacket... its more like a strongly inherited pre-disposition as opposed to a law about what the character is like.If we keep the same Had name we're of the same line as Havakhad though... (I'd forgotten how powerful he was). Is that cool Ferrix or would you want us to not be affiliated with him?Just to round out the conversation with the background from the book:There are several different little "aspects of life -> roleplaying implications" sections of the Races book (they have them for all of the races) that touch on different themes. One of the Kalashar lines is called Spiritual Lineage (I think).When the rebel-Quori escaped to Eberron they possessed like minded mystics and philosophers. IIRC they each possessed several. I believe that 67 made it but all the members of one of the lines, the leader of the rebels, was wiped out by assassins of the Dreaming Dark within a few decades. So she's dead. The implication is that the Dark would very much like to wipe out other lines (and by extension the spirits that dwell in their subconscious) in the same fashion.The remaining 66 lines have continued on to this day. Each line is gendered.... (which is weird because up until this point Quori were presented as being pretty gender neutral). Basically if a Kalashar has a kid with another Kalashar, human or half-elf (why not half orcs? No idea) AND the kid is of the same gender as the Kalashar parent then they will be Kalashar of the "same line" otherwise they will be the race of their parent. (Since children of two Kalashar always have the gender of one of their Kalashar parents they are always Kalashar).Tangent: So a Kalashar could have human or half-elf siblings. There are lots of interesting character possibilities re: humans or half-elves joining the community only to leave, "culturally Kalashar" who aren't racially Kalashar but who's entire families are (if the non-Kalashar parent is no longer around), etc.Anyway the Races book suggests that members of the same line get along very well, often thinking the same thoughts and finishing each other's sentences.... which is a bit extreme, but it could make for some interesting roleplaying.</blockquote>
