"[Montano] bent his thought to the blood, crafting a warning and command to send to certain others of his clan. The eldest partook of a goodly fraction of the founder's power, and while he could not compel total obedience the way the founder had been able to, nonetheless he could make the blood whisper useful words inside the minds of his clanmates."
