Red Vadeli thots:
=================

I've been reviewing the recent discussion about the Vadeli and have
some comments to make. I think those who think that it is acceptable for
Vadeli to miscenegate with other humans are mistaken as I do not know
of any half-Browns. Because of this, I feel that the other Vadeli
Races _should_ be endogamous. They were self-sufficient (incestously
and so) during the days of the Kingdom of Logic and I don't see why
they should be parasitical now.

I strongly dislike the Hornless Red Broo model of Red Vadeli. Given
that the Browns are associated with Shit and the Blues apparently
with corpses (although this does have a major problem in that during
the Good Old Days of the Vadeli Empire, there was a _lack_ of blue
corpses). The Reds, IMO, should have a similar element.

However there is one taboo which has not been touched upon yet:
menstrual intercourse. I believe the Reds require copious
amounts of blood to be able to procreate effectively. The Male
also donates blood to enhance the conception rate (or perhaps
their semen *is* blood...)

This gives us a good model to imagine what Red Females are like
instead of saying they don't exist. They are perpetually broody
and the most Reds have learned the finer arts of cruelty from their
mothers. There is also the RW example of a Hungarian? Countess
who bathed in the blood of virgins to prolong her good looks.

As an example of what the Reds might have, Nick some time ago sent
me a passage from 'Nur and the Warrior Girl' which is part of the
Arabian Nights. The Warrior Girl was a Byzantine Princess who
converted to the True Faith after meting Nur. She then was
seperated from him and recaptured by her parents who prepared her
for rebaptism. This was to be achieved by using a huge basin which
was full of the blood of a ship crew of Muslim Sailors less one
(the fortunate Nur).
