[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 4051645, member: 29014"] For Gnomes I could see it being due to aging. Actually, I suppose this would especially be true for elven concubines, which could increase the value by quite a lot over a human. With a human woman, your typical debauched LE slave-owner only gets maybe a decade or two before she grows old and is no more use than a common labourer (and probably a weak one if she was sold for looks), but with an elf, you get good value since an elf takes almost two hundred years to reach middle age. That could actually lead to some strange situations where the favoured court concubine of the Emperor is a lovely young-looking elf woman who is also secretly his spymaster and advisor because she has learned quite a bit about court intrigue due to serving as favoured concubine of the Emperor father, and [I]his[I] father, and so on for several generations.[/I][/I] [/QUOTE]
