[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1640834, member: 4441"] It is indeed the largest. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. [/QUOTE]
