She is Simoc's foster daughter, but the lack of blood ties means that Simoc is terrified of a non-Stelgaer succeeding him as anamfath.Table of contents : Contents Preface Introduction I. The most likely candidate is a Fisher Crane girl given to the Stelgaer by their anamfath. To make things worse, Simoc realizes that in time, the riow of the tribe will choose a successor for him. He wants his successor to be a worthy leader who would continue his legacy (despite the professed hatred of such estramorwn concepts), but thus far, none of his twelve children are up to the task, including Lliras.
