I read that a large group of the clamod intermarried with the rabani centuries ago, and that this "has caused a variation in their fur."  Also, that the two clans have been at odds, since apparently this was not sanctioned by clan leaders.  (The document I get this from is fairly...ancient and inaccurate, though.)

My characters (the Kaelis) come from mixed clans, and I've clearly stated that in their descriptions—so other Enkidukai who have an eye for this would be able to tell.  Personality-wise, I've played that many more traditional enkidukai tend to look down on them; Nilaya feels more at home in Hydlaa than Ojaveda, etc.  Comments about clan "purity" make them uncomfortable.

But I've never seen anyone else play this, and I've been curious about the same thing.

Most enkidukai my character meets don't even know enki language, let alone the history of their pack. I'm trying to encourage more of this, not to the point of racism, but just enough so that its noticed. - Like what lolitra said a few posts back. Just a comment here or there about it.

I found a book which explains the six main packs and dsars. So there is a Sarraghi pack too. Which means that the Clamod must live especially in the Mills dsar.

The PS Wiki contains now an overview over the Enkidukai packs and related furs... except for the unpublished Sarraghi pack. How will they look -- snow white, or maybe colorful red?

I have it on good authority that they are pink with purple poka-dots.

Settings wise, races do not mix genetically. When a baby is born, is bears either the race and traits of the father or most likely, those of the mother. Furthermore, logic-wise, as Lolitra pointed out very well, some races are naturally incompatible for breeding purposes.

Now, like some people concluded, there are even more reasons which add to that. Sticking to Enkindukai and packs, although it very well applies to every race, a non-comprehensive list of these reasons are: social upbringing, social acceptance, conformity, traditions.
To see the world in a grain of sand
And Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

hmmm have thought about this subject a lot aswell.

How precice would your markings be and how much could your markings change. I mean are there only six packs in Yliakum or are the packs simply divided into six groups. I mean I was thinking of a pack being about the size of 20 to 50 enkidukais max seeing any larger wouldn't be logical to be formed in nature. Then it would seem more logival for there to be more then 6 packs.

I think that would mean the markings, eventhough the overall fur remains in one of the six groups, could change becuase of interbreeding marking a "new" pack.

I'm still curious to know how an Enkidukai can bear the child of that of another race.

Since they're cat-like, would they have a litter of kittens? And with it being interracial, would they have a litter of humans...?

That just seems weird to me.
