Tribe of the Mountains
Chapter 17 — Seduction
In Thebes, "free women" is the name given to all women that do not have a proper father or husband to protect them. They can`t have lands, but some few banks accept their money. The taxes are very high though, so many of them keep money stashes where they can. Most end depending on a male relative to live, or on a pimp.
Nowadays there is one exception, a woman adept of magic. If she is good enough she may be allowed to have money in any bank and to own land. But this new rule is not accepted by all and long judiciary battles where their male relatives try to confiscate the money are usual. Of course, a powerful female mage can be very persuasive and make her relative to drop the cause. After all, as everyone knows, people sometimes simply disappear. |
