>I don't see why. I only said the leading men of Esrolia had to
be eunuchs. Medieval Europe had about 2% of the male population
practicing celibacy and in Tibet (admittedly an extreme case),
the figure was something like a third. Despite this, the populations
did not plummet.<
My comments weren't meant to be taken too seriously, they were just humorous justifications for my own squemishness. I realize that there would have to be an absurdly high percentage of the population being eunuchs before it would affect the population growth.

>I am not convinced that this is an Esrolian practice at all.<
Glad to hear that! To my own dismay, though, I suppose there are eunuchs in Glorantha somewhere. Kralorela and/or Fonrit perhaps?
