As the Larkinsons from both branches continued to mingle with each other, the clan underwent a large reorganization.
After the Battle of Kesseling VIII, the clan suffered a lot of losses. All of those missing positions had to be filled. In fact, the clan also sought to expand its numbers further in order to ensure it had enough strength to face its challengers!
The Larkinson Clan organized a large recruitment event. Any Sentinel or upstanding person could apply to join the clan!
As long as they possessed valuable skills the clan urgently needed, they became eligible to become Larkinsons!
Though this was a rather sudden shift in policy, Ves encouraged it because he was confident that the adoption ritual was sufficient enough to weed out the weak-hearted and treacherous people among the applicants.
