 Han and Lei's children combined the Blood of the Sea Spirit Folk and the Oriental Dragon - to give an almost unique combination. Since then the blood has become dilute, but it still emerges strongly in some individuals.
+===== Religion =====
+Members of the Royal Family are all encouraged to follow the family's own deific ancestors -  **[[..:..:religion:homebrewpantheons:royalancestors|Royal Ancestor Worship]]**.  Those who qualify for the priesthood, are seen as faithful members of the family, and are given positions in the Royal Administration. Some powerful people in the administration might only have a single level of Adept, bit three or four levels of other classes, such as Aristocrat, or Expert.
+Those priests who are also blessed with Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer levels, will be considered as a potential heir to the throne.
+===== Sorcery =====
+Members of the Shay dynasty who develop as sorcerers always have the draconic bloodline, which accounted for by having Han Shay as an ancestor.  Sorcerers are respected members of the family and are encouraged to train for the priesthood, as a second vocation.  Sorcerer / Priests will be considered as a potential heir to the throne.
+===== Choosing an heir =====
+When the time comes, all the eligible candidates are considered, and a Royal Successor chosen by the senior members of the family.  Often there is one 'stand out' candidate who is stronger, more resilient and more powerful that the others - who just gets the nod from everyone involved.  Very occasionally, there are two matched candidates -  then it can get messy, with political (and actual) infighting and assassination attempts.
