What if the Devs added another "Clan" for each Race?

I think it could work from a gameplay perspective (although it'd be nice to finish Hrothgar and Viera in terms of gender and head gear). I'm unsure about the lore though? It seems everything has been written to have some kind of duality so adding a third clan out of the blue might be weird (from that lore perspective only, mind you).

I understand that what WoW did with allied races kind of worked because there wasn't that "exclusive duality" to begin with.

It isn't really an important lore thing that there are two clans of each race. Really only maybe Au Ra would have an issue because of the dawn father/dusk mother duality thing IS a part of their culture, so it may be weird getting a third au ra color But given that we don't know the actual historical origin of the au ra and how much of their legends are true, it could still work. Or just have some third clan that was made from the other two interbreeding that went off to do its own thing away from the others. For the other races though, there's really nothing to stop it lore wise. I think as is the Ishgard elezen are technically neither wildwood nor duskwight. And then you have whatever Roe clan Gosetsu is from etc.
