"There's seriously better ways once you have any idea what the ass you're doing, but I should be dumping this all out in front of people who can write it down and spread it. At least that sounds like Abadar is being just as hampered as the other gods, by whatever the ass they're collectively doing, and doesn't get any exceptions when it's hurting his own interests."
Back to the senior woman.
"Sorry, was just checking how the concubines thing actually works and apparently this Pharaoh was the son of that one sane guy who selected the smartest woman he could find to be his wife, instead of all the hundreds of compliant graceful ones that got dragged in for apparently no reason. Which sounds like people are being silly and inefficient and you might possibly want to decrease how much confidence you place in the existing management having a great idea of what they're doing, when it comes to matters of men and women particularly."
"I've spoken to at least one seventh-circle priest of Abadar out of Absalom, and he thought that Osirion was not a place he would want to raise a daughter, given Osirion's treatment of women. It does not appear to be a subject on which the wise priests of Abadar are of uniform accord. I'd be interested in what you think, as a woman of Osirion who must actually be subject to all these laws."
"A palace concubine advised me to ask women what they would want me to do, before I made any requests of Osirion's government. Which does seem to me like wisdom, in fact, whatever palace concubines are ordinarily selected for. So I'm asking."
