Actually though that breaks my heart more? Knowing that it wasn't just one period of El's life in which My.st.ra caused them to beget children without their knowledge or consent. She has quite possibly done it many times over El's considerable long life. Maybe even before she birthed the Seven Sisters. All part of a plan to breed potential Chosen and otherwise worthy agents. As well as an eventual plan to groom a successor to El who, though still serving admirably, cannot and should not go on forever.

#OOC / HOLLY.#Mystra critical #this isn't the only time we've seen her interfere with people's potential offspring for her own ends either #like helping to bring Sharantyr; Itharr; and Belkram closer together #and being like 'their future child will be one of my faithful'#honestly it's absolutely revolting that she does this #she's no different than Bhaal in this regard #ugh and then with her own daughter Dove ordering her to marry Florin so they can have a baby who would be Mielikki's Chosen #and there's all of the Sisters' children who aren't exempt from their 'grandmother's' influence I'm sure #ugh my heart is breaking for El all over again #like. they wanted kids. they wanted to be a parent.#but My.st.ra has control over their fertility #finding out that she ostensibly steered them away from having bio kids #only to cause them to have children they didn't know about #EVEN WITH PEOPLE THEY DID NOT WANT CHILDREN WITH #AND GETTING UNDERHANDED AND NASTY ORDERING KHELBEN TO HELP IN ONE INSTANCE #[Khelben looked physically ill afterward the order disgusted him so much]#and then didn't tell them about said kids and they basically had to find out later or by accident etc #just so she could have potential agents like they're game pieces #no I gotta stop I will actually cry over this and everything else El has suffered and how they keep going despite it all #because people need them and their desire to help others outweighs their own anguish and despair #I HATE THIS
