This thread got me thinkin:
1) Are the nonmen still interested in babies? I have no idea what motivates these kinds of characters beyond what Cleric seemed to want: a proper ending.
2) If Serwa's womb is a bargaining chip, then an even bigger one would be how to make more Serwa's. I have a crackpot that old Moe is what makes Esmi's womb so singular. He could offer way more Serwa since they would be products of the psukhe/dunyain know how.
3) If Serwa's womb is a bargaining chip, then Thelopia is another one.
4) If Kellhus is keeping Serwa in the dark about what she would mean to the nonmen, there could be some trouble when she sleeps with a nonman and then produces a child from the liason just before--young Moe's son!
5) @ Curethan - that quote from Bakker, is it talking about the union of nonmen & humans or nonmen & sranc?
1) I would think so. Nonmen have tried a number of times to use humans to restart their race.
2) Again, we have to acknowledge that Yatwer plays a role in all Earwan birth.
3) And depending on Esmenet's bloodline (like for instance if her Matrilineal line are the true descendants of Celmomas), Mimara, who we already know reminded Nil'giccas of his dead wife.
4) I don't think we'll have time to see Serwa come to term, regardless of who impregnates her... Mimara on the other hand.
5) Nonmen and humans, MG.
