Also, there is a discussion on IRC about sereg females. Are they playable by PC's?
<Ghostie|Sneaking> Sereg male only?
<SignificantOwl> Well.
<SignificantOwl> Who would want to be a sereg female?
<Ghostie|Sneaking> Yeah, good point.
<SignificantOwl> At least.. Accodring to what I've heard.. And all.
<Pengouwl> Ghostie: I was wondering that, but every official response I've read is that the females just stay in the underdark, and only the males raid Mikona and get killed. ;)

female seregs are only there for breeding, but if thats your kind of RP ...

-4 Charisma

No thanks, foxymole. =P
I found an old thread on it, but Orleron didn't comment about female sereg, only other people did. I still have not read an official response about them, so I'm still wondering. Maybe Orl will pop in and give an answer?.

In this reapplication, can we put our Avlis experience as the RPG experience? I understand this will be only a formality, as if I play for almost three years here I don't get rejected suddenly? :)

We asked Silk about it when Sereg were first enabled. Sereg female = "But? No." They are kept as breeding machines basically.

Orleron wrote:Females have only recently been produced through a specialized version of the magical conditioning which was invented to insure the survival of the species after their falling out with the High Command of T’Nanshi. Females are a subjugated cast who exist for breeding purposes only, and are rarely given any status in society. They possess the same dark features as males, but are a little shorter, reaching a maximum of 4 and a half feet tall.
This is, apparantly, the final word from the sourcebook. This seems to indicate that they are playable, but simply are almost never accorded any status in Sereg'wetherin society?

Female sereg are discouraged though not illegal, which means I'm sure everyone will try to push the limits and screw with us as usual.

I would recommend trying to develop characters among the myriad of other class/race combinations that are available rather than going right to the ones that will cause the most trouble. :)

Hehe, thanks. I don't even plan on playing one. ;)
But the question came up in IRC, and I was determined to find out. =D
Thanks for the solid answer.

How about a CG dual-scimitar wielding female Sereg ranger who rejects the cruel ways of her people? :P
