<<Thus if Vorclaff had a human son first, and the son also produced heirs, the question of an elf ruler would be void, no?

The elf has a lifespan of 3,000 years and may outlive the line of humans? So if 3 generations later no heir was produced it would fall to the elf?

As far as succession from what i gather is is generally the first son. If he produces and heir in falls to the heir. The old medieval from what i gather went basically first son inherits lands titles so on. The second goes into the clergy, the third well if you were the third you were kinda screwed... you had to go out and make a name for yourself.

From what i can figure if vorclaf and silvyrfrost have a child the child will be heir and not keresyk. Keresyk would still be heir to Leth but no longer to the throne. Naming him the heir kinda solved problems if for some reason vorclaf died with no heir.
The fact that he is one of the few remaining relations helps it along too. Just a thought.

Right. Whomever Vorclaf marries and breeds with, that issue will be the heir to Zoluren. Keresyk remains heir to Leth through his mother, Lindryl, and heir to M'Riss through his father, Keirnen. Vorclaf's reasonably named Keresyk heir by virtue of being the prince's only male Sorvendig relative. However, Keresyk does have a reasonable claim to the Zoluren throne by blood without Vorclaf going to the trouble of naming Keresyk his heir because Lindryl's mother was the eldest of Belirendrik II's children. Of course, there's the tiny detail of Lindryl's mother being illegitimate. ;)

And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't someone born to a couple of two different races default to the race of the mother? I think I remember reading that somewhere, but can't, for the life of me, remember where it was. So I could be mistaken.

You forget that most elves live to 400-500. We just happen to have very visible exceptions.

That's speculation, since it seems to be that way usually. But I believe the example of "Lanival and his brother" proved it incorrect, though I don't remember the argument.

>>From what i gather there are the occational exceptions(these cases are extreamly rare) but most born of elven-human marrages come out one way or the other. Just a thought.

What exceptions do you cite? I believe it was stated that the child of an Elf and a Human is always either an Elf or a Human and there is no such thing as a Half-Elf.

Correct me if I am mistaken.

Right. Seihjin is elven, obviously, but he has characteristics of his father, is shorter than the avg elf and slightly heavier but an elf nonetheless. Characteristics and traits of the other parent are entirely possible from what I have read.
