Hegemon Darinsol

Today I put to rest the last of the Alite. The memorial I have had made in their honor shall tell of their bravery for all the days to come. Look upon it with sadness, for their like shall not come again. With his death passes the last of our contact with the valleys beyond the rim. I consider sending scouts to renew our ties, but the warnings that only the Alite Guards dare venture from the valley in safety are strong, and I believe I must heed them.

I wonder if there's any significance in the similarities of the names "Darin" and "Darinsol." Perhaps the tribe was still using parent to child inheritance at this point in time. You can see the drift of ideas and language becoming noticeable: notice "Alite" rather than "Elite."
