I doubt this, there more worried about claiming there throne(s) and everything else is elementary.

Your right about that. But they want to keep them, once they have them. If they cannot claim they can help the country into the futue. That is not likely to happen.

Guys, just chill. Play what characters you wish, let me worry about the plots of the genies, ok? No reason to speculate about things that are going to be purely the realm of the DM anyway.

Alright, we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

Questions about Ala'Kamal's Harem:

For simplicity shake I’m asking all of the fallowing questions based upon Ala’Kamal’s harem but the answers can be in general.

1] Is his harem the largest in the land? (The flavor suggested it but didn’t confirm this.)

2] Is it only a female harem or are there males also?

3] How many girls, or people, are inside the harem? (If both how many of each.)

4] What happens to a escaped harem girl if they catch her?

5] When one is missing do they actively hunt one down or do they simply only worry about them when one is caught doing something else?

6] Are those in the harems allowed to leave the palace and go into town or do they simply never leave their palace home?

Questions about Ala'Kamal's Harem:

For simplicity shake I’m asking all of the fallowing questions based upon Ala’Kamal’s harem but the answers can be in general.

1] Is his harem the largest in the land? (The flavor suggested it but didn’t confirm this.)

It is indeed the largest.

2] Is it only a female harem or are there males also?

There typically is a separate harem for males in the harem complex, both for noble ladies that wish entertainment, and for sultans either with different preferences or exotic tastes.

3] How many girls, or people, are inside the harem? (If both how many of each.)

In Kamal's harem there are approximately three hundred women and fifty men. A more typical harem size is about 150 women and 10-25 men.

4] What happens to a escaped harem girl if they catch her?

If she's favored by the sultan, she may only be starved for a period of time until she promised not to run away again. She'll probably be locked in a separate room for a month, and wear mostly decorative golden ankle chains for a year as well to remind her what will happen to her if she displeases him. Those that are caught that the sultan doesn't care for, or who displease the sultan, are clad in heavy bronze ankle chains, and cast naked out upon the streets. Most don't live much more than a few months.

5] When one is missing do they actively hunt one down or do they simply only worry about them when one is caught doing something else?

A harem girl is the sultan's possession, and they are hunted down just as if someone stole one of the sultan's jewels, which is to say with zeal.

6] Are those in the harems allowed to leave the palace and go into town or do they simply never leave their palace home?

They never leave the palace, because their beauty is legendary, and it might incite the common folk to attempt to free them. They are for the sultan's eyes only.

Isida would you forgive me if I told you I made a copy of your caste system in stuck it in your second post? :worried look:

John, hey I saw your RG post and I thought you would like to know of your typo in your background:

But he has had many jobs, many considered low from society, from weaponsmith, to raiding for his lord.

The "from" that’s before society read better if you change it to by. Right now it sounds like society was one of the jobs you where describing.

Does that sound better?

Isida, what would be the cost and weight of a large waterskin? I assume wood would be at a premium and hence no kegs.
