Seems wasteful. They could at least turn them into driders or feed them to the spiders. Hopefully they torture them to death for the glory of Lloth at least

Um, fratricide is a real world practice.

In fact, the Kafes of the Ottoman Empire were an effort to stop the ritual of a successor king having all his brothers executed. Instead, extra heirs would be locked up in a nice dwelling full of harem women. They went mad.

And now they are a tourist attraction and a footnote of history.

That’s fucking dark. I’m not sure what is worse. Death or caged for your entire life.

What are you replying to? I don’t give a shit about fratricide. A woman orgasming because the fetuses inside her are murdering each other is the part I have a big problem with.

Isn’t a wizard supposed to be the 7th son of a 7th son?

Of course you could still slaughter sons 3-6 at birth.

On the Disc it’s the 8th son of an 8th son (“8” being the more magical number, along with the eighth color only wizards can see, octarine). The 8th son of an 8th son of an 8th son is a sourcerer, but they’re rare (on purpose).

I was making a Terry Pratchett Discworld reference, but Terry was making a reference to the belief here on Roundworld.
