Natasha kerensky's blood heritage
« on: September 18, 2014, 08:45:35 AM »
Did they ever establish if she's from Andery or Nicky's line?  Cyrilla said she lacked the Kerensky vision but that doesn't resolve anything.

frankly, it was never established whether the house of Kerensky is permitted 25 bloodnamed or 50.  similar issue with the Plloczyk brothers of the burrocks

I ht I read somewhere that that there 803 bloodnames due to the doubling of three bloodnames due to a filial relationship (Kerensky, Polczyk and another)

that does not change the question as to whether doubled up blood names are single houses with 50 members, seperate houses with 25 apiece, or a single house with 25.

I would assume the middle choice, until countered by TPTB

Page 33 of Operation Klondike specifically states:

"The 800 Warriors (plus the legacies of Nicholas, Andery and Jennifer Winson to give 803 distinct bloodlines though only 787 different names)"

So there were several other cases of Bloodnames sharing a name while being distinct - some of them wouldn't have been in the same clans of course, although the first Burrock Khans were twin brothers.

The Kerensky-Kufahl shared legacies between the Coyotes and the Wolves suggest a strong tradition of treating Andery's legacy as distinct from his brother's.

Well I can take an educated guess. Didn't it say somewhere that Natasha had Widowmaker genes? She is the Black Widow after all. So assuming that fact (citation needed please) I do not think Nicholas (who was killed by the Widowmaker) blood would be mixed with the blood of that Clan. So I would say Andery is more likely. Again just a guess.

I have been doing research on the Bloodhouses for Clarion Call and there is not a bunch of detail. Wolf of course had the greatest number of names (43) and then added Widowmaker (40). There are probably 3 Widowmaker names (Cal Jorgensson, Jason Karrige, and Kyle Vordermark) the Wolves would not use at all. Still that could be a possible 80 Bloodnames.

Based on Crusader Clans, Clan Wolf had 10 exclusive Bloodnames left from their original 40.  If we play simple math on the exclusive names of Widowmaker descent, the Wolves probably used 20 Widowmaker names and let the others fall by the wayside.

But that's just a wild ass guess based on the numbers in Crusader Clans.
