Which is not the 'bloodname' which encompasses all possible 25 holders of that bloodname. What you are referring to his the blood-heritage, which is the history of that specific iteration of the bloodname. For instance Ulric specifically says the heritage (call it #14) he won was more respected than others that had come up in that time- it was the one he wanted. Ulric passed over two other opportunities for a bloodname (#7 and #22?) because he wanted to be a part of that legacy, very few holders so each warrior held it for longer- which means they were survivors- and they were usually high ranking. If you want to become a general with a chance for CoS in the Army you do not pick a specialty like Commo or Survey, you go combat arms.
