An odd one I know, I got half away through writing up Cyriels organisation in Elkoi and I had decide he ran a number of girls to 'service' the troops rotated through Elkoi.
Looking at his other trades, and the situation it was going to be a bit grim. Slaves and captured Balazaring girls, abusive, harsh and something to appal the pc's.
A tone and view of prostitution that would resemble the film 'The whistleblower'
However I paused because my players didn't pursue there dealings with Cyriel, but also comparing this to the fleeting mentions of prostitution and the worship of Uleria produced so far I felt it was almost 'ungloranthan'.
What do I mean by that?
Well it feels like prostitution as far I have encountered it to date in Glorantha has always been seen as consensual, part of cult worship and even venerated in some circles. In the truth a liberal Utopian view of prostitution, far removed from indentured servitude, modern slavery and forced labour.
Have these themes been explored and debated before? Have other people dealt with this in their games?
