It's an interesting thought, but I have to think it could also be down to a simple selection effect. What kind of woman leaves whatever situation she's in to go join a harem / group marriage arrangement that lives in an isolated castle many kilometers away? Not generally one who has strong attachments to their existing situation, I'd think. Not one who has to worry greatly about what her family and friends will think, or about losing her position in work or society. Not an ordinary woman by most reasonable measures.

But hey, you could be right, and that could be an engaging plot point.

Either way the matter of fact is that Simon is the only masculine attraction the entire harem has, and occasionally that makes them feel pretty out of character, i.e Yarra and Nalili being super dissapointed and turned off the moment they found out the Givini Twins were men instead of women. I don't feel this is an entirely fair reading of that conversation. They explicitly say they're into it after expressing their disappointment - it's just that they're also loyal to Simon, and aren't going to play around with other men unless it serves the group's interests (Gathering, Yhilin battle stuff, etc) 82.234.101.145 wrote: The Mother sure is ambitious, that's the kind of stuff I expect from d&d Lolth's "happy" farm of epic level worshipper.

Man, I had the weirdest dream, after Simon got Esthera's shard, he was suddenly acting more distant until he was different, not evil or rapey, but clearly not Simon, and you were set into a Chrono Trigger esque quest to get him back. The heck my dreams are made off. Would be an interesting twist. What do you mean about Lolth's farm though?
