>someone of your clan who is not of your bloodline?

I think so, tho in my campaign, this is a silly question -- you wouldn't want to. There's little political advantage to be gained by marrying someone from your own clan, since they are _already_ your allies.

>What is the typical size of a bloodline? How many are there >typically in a single clan?

In East Ralios, I'm using the 4-generation definition of a bloodline (people who have the same great-grandfather up the male line). How large this would be depends on how many sons grow up and have kids. Irish Celtic* kings typically had many sons; I'd expect royal bloodlines to be larger (and probably larger still since they tend to multiple wives). In my campaign, I made genealogies so I know all the members of two bloodlines of the Belovaking clan; there are obviously many more bloodlines (I can count the members when I get home, tho I don't know how many grandpas are still around).
