One more thing: CCP (mis)uses 'race' to mean 'people of one of the four factions'. Accordingly, by CCP terminology, Udorians, Khanid and 'True Amarr' are Amarr by race. The undercategories are the 'bloodlines'.

So, it is quite probably that when Yonis "encouraged people of all races and bloodlines to seek religious enlightenment" that refered to the foreign races of Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar and their bloodlines.

I think we need to be aware of the way that CCP uses the terms 'race' and 'bloodline' and that they do so from a perspective of how their character creation is structured, rather than how these terms are used IRL.

And to make it even more convoluted, the Gallente PF frequently makes reference to 'ethnicity.'

Ahjup. I have come to expect CCP to not be consistent in what they do. ;)
