Blind Fosterage
Posted by Apostate on 11/10/19
Q: Is blind fosterage practiced in the Compact?
A: Yes, though it varies by region. In the Lyceum, blind fosterage is not uncommon at all, and often done for no more reason than to keep others guessing. In Thrax, it is vanishingly rare, in part because of how much value is placed upon bloodlines and parentage there, so unless someone has their precise bloodline defined, they are always considered commoner and somewhat scandalous.
