Ok, WF6 say "she took no husband and bore no children". Where do the geases come in?
I always took this to mean "has no divine daughters".

If you call the (official) RQ3 cult write-up in Tales 6 a retcon, ok. Maran as a mother has been canonical since then. There it says something about priestesses having to give up the children.

Babs the rabbit is sort of new to me.
Interesting trivia aside: googling for Babeester, I was asked "did you mean babysitter?"

With dragons handily nearby, why go for non-sexual means? Extra-marital, that's ok with me. Unless she is the perpetual widow.

That's part of the Six Earths/three generations stuff. You know, crone/mother/maiden. Babs clearly is not of the crone or mother persuasion, leaving her alongside with Voria.
Mind you, if she was the size and shape of a 10-year-old girl wearing the usual accoutrements, she might be even more intimidating.

The mud, unless Babs turned it into beer after a few nosebleeds (or other sources of the red juice).
