           	| Since I had not run across the term Dathran before I read City of Splendors, I wanted to see if I have all of these terms straight. 
 
 
 Ethran  A Rashemi witch in training.
 
 Hathran  A fully trained and accepted witch of Rasheman.
 
 Dathran  A witch of Rashemen that has been banished for using forbidden magics.
 
 Durthan  An alternate order of Witches within Rashemen that still seek to defend it, but who consort with evil spirits and may use darker methods.
 
 Does all of that sound right, or did I miss a source that might have better defined one of those terms?

                      | I thought Durthan and Dathran were the same.....or maybe i never noticed the little difference ^^ |

                      | When the names were first introduced (IIRC, in Spellbound), they were a rough approximation of the witch's level. 
 Ethran: level 1-2
 Blethren: 3-9
 Hathran: 10-14
 Othor: 15+
 
 This was, of course, completely messed up with the introduction of prestige classes.

 Sigh... And now 4e as well.
