I’ve a question about Alathea Merendil of Athkatla that I hope you or Elminster can answer: Did Alathea remain fertile during her three long centuries spent courting husbands? 1)
Alathea had children about once a year from her twenties up through the middle of her 18th decade; her last known child (a daughter, the fierce-willed sorceress Bhellasharra of Yith) was born when she was 186 summers old.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 8, 2020
2)
So far as is known, Alathea remained sexually active (or as some sages put it, “went on wearing out husbands”) after that, but bore no more children. That may not have been her becoming infertile; it might have been… 3)
…her choice (contraception). After all, she had more children than most would consider “more than enough” by then.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 8, 2020
