Firstly, apologies to anyone offended by talk of immaculate conceptions creating super beings.


Secondly, wow!

One of my first 7 dwarves just conceived a child despite having no male relationships and no previous ones either. Could this be the work of her two deities? Her most ardently worshipped deity Nashas Esteemflicker is God of Lightning and Rain.

Storm coming?

Edit:  Don't mind me, playing the wrong version without the bugfix by mistake. Mods delete the thread?

Sounds interesting - but I have to step in and point out: the immaculate conception is not the virgin birth.

(Most) Christians believe that Jesus had no human father, and that Mary, his mother, was a virgin when she conceived him. That's called the virgin birth.

Catholics believe, in addition to this, that Mary herself had an unusual conception: she did have a human father, and her mother was not a virgin; nevertheless, the conception happened in a miraculous way that prevented the transmission of original sin. Consequently, although Mary's conception happened in what we'll euphemistically call the usual way, she did not inherit any sin, and was therefore able to lead a sin-free life.

The term "immaculate conception" refers to this. It does not refer to the conception of Jesus. What you're talking about is a dwarven virgin birth, not an immaculate conception.

As you were.
