Okay. I just wanted to make sure just in case.

I wasn't just talking about heirs, unless by heirs you mean offspring, because these naming conventions were used by people in all sorts of classes.

You do have a point about nobility though. Nobility does have a tendency to prefer to keep a specific last name for the ruler. Maybe it's a case of the heir keeping the family name and other children not, so that only the one line keeps the royal name. It doesn't really work if the heir dies, because that messes up the names like you say.

What makes that especially interesting is the fact that unless you pay diamonds, Tevan does die which does mess up the last name of the royal family.

You aren't kidding about how colorful Fydoria is. They are so much fun. And so purple. I don't know why they didn't give her the Drammir last name, but the idea that it is a deliberate tip to the colorful Fydorian culture is an interesting idea and probably better than any ideas I have come up with on the subject.
