I agree. I hope never to be captured by Uroxi. What kinds of creatures or cultists, anyway, do the Uroxi actually capture? I always assumed they kill or they ignore or they make friends (in a proper manner!!!) out of those they meet.

In RW (I am afraid) it was a far too ordinary habit for nomad warriors to abuse their prisoners in order to show to their comrades their superiority. Think of the way men in primitive cultures have always treated women: not more than slaves or items, because in this way they showed to other men their "greatness". Eiritha would defend and "avenge" Praxian women treated so, but which deity protects slaves and losers (in Prax)? None, I think.
