The problem is, it's a part of "heroic" literature, too. The "wrath of Achilles" is brought about because Menelaus has deprived him of his rightful spoils of war, the girl Chryseis, who was taken as a slave from Try. Most likely, Achilles was not employing Chryseis solely for her sewing skills. King Priam's sister Hesione was taken as a slave, as well. Numerous Scandinavian sagas make reference to this practice, and it is even alluded to in some Gloranthan sources (in Pent, for example, a slave woman who becomes pregnant becomes a member of the tribe, IIRC.)
That being said, I think it is completely within the bounds of heroic literature to include this practice in a game; however, is there a way to do it without being obviously offensive or insensitive?
