Non-male Blessed Siblings?

[Iscah]

Split off to second comment, due to the 3000 character limit... why is this even here? Anyway...

If you hit the limit, just cut all the text, leave a short message saying "editing..." (needs to be 10 characters minimum) and post that, then edit and paste in your actual message.

Also, while we have a lot of "ools" among the cast, Zoraal Ja is not one of them.

But anyway.

Speaking of children (or rather the single child) of two-heads... I hope we'll also meet, or at least hear about both Zarool Ja's mother and partner. Considering how Wuk Lamat had this Hyur mother figure, I would imagine that Zarool's mother either died before the kitty was adopted into the family, or shortly after, or that Zarool came from a fling, rather than a marriage, with the mother leaving the baby behind and hightailing it, neither of which would exactly have added to Zarool's already strained mental state.

I find it quite suspect that there's not a single mention of Zoraal Ja's mother, and doubly so when he then has a son with equally little examination of how he came to be.

The complete lack of mention of his mother – combined with his father supposedly not able to have children in the first place – made me expect there would be a reveal of something more supernatural at work, or maybe Gulool got in contact with "the high-tech civilisation from the trailer" (I was guessing as I made my way through) and Zoraal Ja is a clone or something. I've since seen people theorising that the "key" relic might be wish-granting, so that would be the same result by fantasy rather that sci-fi means.

The only thing that makes me hesitate is that the general population of Tural doesn't seem to find anything odd about it and you'd think they would ask questions if there didn't seem to be a mother involved in the prince's miraculous birth. Or maybe the gossip is old and both people involved are well-liked (at least in the beginning) and they're just not talking about it any more.
