Issues

There was a surprising amount of wisdom Aurelia found in these women that made her often wonder why they worked at a brothel. Aside from a few she viewed as stupid, none of them were dumb but rather intelligent. Incredibly so. All of them could read and write and followed some doctrine of Cultivation. So she felt compelled to ask how they came to be whores. 

Dina was sold by her father when she was fifteen to pay off his debts. That had taken ten years. And even now that she was debtless, she continued whoring, since it was all she knew. Rosanna had her maidenhood taken by ten men on the road to visit her sister in Drege. They kept her for a few years before they sold her. Nyvella was born into the life; her mother and her Mothers Mother were both whores. It was all she knew. Ryna was one of the few who did it for the money. And very much enjoyed what she did. At the same time, others did it to support their families or themselves.
