I meant Dara Happans in a purely glorographical sense (and I suspect I could have cast the net rather wider), not as in "uptight spermretentive  Yelm worshippers". And I'm not saying widespread reliance on communal magic will reduce birth rates! Just the opposite, I'm suggesting the 'needs lots and lots of magical and other help to successfully have a sprog at all' premise is faulty.

Cheers,
