[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6421934, member: 177"] Until the Duke dies with no other legitimate heirs, and then everyone's head slowly swivels towards the church.... And what happens if the Duke has no daughter? Or is the Duke and his daughter immortal in Ys? (Edit: Which is to say, the OP is fine when describing a mythic place, but it seems to have some logical holes in it. If your players are going to think about it for more than a few minutes, they're going to wonder a bit about them. I mean, Ys has to have very few executions, or the Duke's daughter is going to be a pretty busy lady, right? And that's not to mention the forced prostitution aspect. You figure she's going to be happy to be married to and forced to sleep with a series of men bad enough to be executed? I recognize that in ages past folks had a different idea of the role of women, but do we want such in our games today?) [/QUOTE]
