Rokari Celibacy:
I'm sorry to be dense, but...
If all the old wizards are celebate how do they make enough little wizards to keep the caste going?
I'm sorry to be picky, but...
Is this sex thing something bad for the Rokari? Like a sin of some sort? Sin is bad, yeah?
I'm sorry to be sick, but...
Hey, maybe the Nuns are all Brides of Rokar. Maybe volunteer wizards randomly impregnate these nuns, and then the nuns bring up the male offspring to be good little wizards.
Of course the wizards are really still celebate because they don't actually commit the sex for pleasure or from vile animalistic lusts - they do it to serve the Invisible God! So, by definition they haven't sinned, and therefore they don't have sex, and they are all still celebate. QED.
Sorry to be really stupid, but I think I've answered my original question.
Cheers,
David
