After reading the second part of Norah's history, I'm curious: How far do the oaths go for a khetren? It's obvious that some previous obligations will have to be left behind, like Norah's place as crown princess.

But are they expected to leave everything behind? It seems a bit harsh to cut one's family off like that, but I vaguely recall some real-world social constructs which were about that level. On the other hand, there might be some cases where it would be preferable on one or both sides.

I'd like to think her parents get missives from Norah on occasion, instead of having to wait for the news to arrive.
