Also, about what I wanted to tell you yesterday: All Tarkans are warriors. Or rather, all members of Tarkan society are warriors. Regardless of class or gender, they are sent to worlds devoid of civilization at an early age and locked away in keeps where they will spend their childhood and teenage years training.

Many are killed by their peers early on by accident, which is considered normal because it is considered that if they could not survive, they would not have been able to make it as warriors. Some others are killed as they hunt prey as teenagers and fight with more dangerous weapons.

That system is unforgiving. It is possible that Ardir could take its rejects, those children/teenagers considered too weak to become warriors (because they were maimed, were too weak or too small as children, etc), as slaves and form them into his own personal agents. Since they are his servants, its possible that he could be having sexual relationships with several of them.

Tarkans, aside from taking mates and consorts, also take concubines, which are essentially either willing female Tarkans of lower status or political prisoners.

He could have had several illegitimate children depending on his habits.

Also, I don't think it fits with Tarkan culture that much for you to call them minions. Servants seems a little better.
