| rdfs:comment | - The Children of the Dead Seed were the result of a Pannion Domin rite conducted by female members of the Tenescowri on their male victims. It was conducted amidst mass murder of unbelievers. Lady Envy: "Holy Ones, please forgive my ignorance. A Child of the Dead Seed--what precisely is that?" Pannion priest: "The moment of reward among the male unbelievers, mistress, is often marked by an involuntary spilling of life-seed... and continues after life is fled. At this moment, with a corpse beneath her, a woman may ride and so take within her a dead man's seed. The children that are thus born are the holiest of the Seer's kin." Lady Envy (paling): "That is extraordinary..." ―Lady Envy and a Pannion priest

Lady Envy (paling): "That is extraordinary..." ―Lady Envy and a Pannion priest The first ever Child of the Dead Seed was Anaster, conceived at Bastion on the first day of the Pannion Seer's return from the Mountain speaking the Words of Truth. The women who performed the ritual were known as the Women of the Dead Seed. A dozen or so of the women, including Anaster's mother, formed his bodyguard. They were described as scrawny, wild-haired figures who shrieked at random and emitted an aura of darkness and madness. They used the Warren of Chaos to spread fear and madness amongst their enemies.
