Hell no, these things are raised in HUGE warehouses, given steroids and antibiotics so that they can bet the biggest eggs and most milk production
Don't believe the hype! This is just re-branding. Nobody would eat my cookies when they are made with "Forced labor basilisk eggs and milk".
Im assuming the merchants hired a rogue to run around in overthere and steal eggs from the poor cockatrices... Thats the reason, they are so aggressive...
My guess, Ocean of Tears. The whole place changed it's looks from what it used to be, and all kind of buildings popped up that I'm not sure anyone has looked into since. All to hide this, and never a cow or egg layer "seen" there. Coincidence? You tell me.
A much more pressing observation: Only animals are born and grow up, the intelligent races are all adults... Where are the children? Are we just cloned in a factory? Did we already eat all the children? are we too busy adventuring to have sex?
Great question. I usually think of a series of tubes a la The Matrix. An intriguing thought. It could help explain the continual need to fight. On the other hand, perhaps this activity happens while we are logged off and thus we are unaware of it.
The secret has been out there all along, the softskins just refuse to see it. https://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=12617
How can you forget Baby Joseph Sayer and the little girl kitty in Shar Val, whos nightie I have but I can't remember her name.
I suspect they just relabeled dwarf milk. I'm not sure how they get it, considering dorfs are mostly androgynous. When I see a bottle of it, I can't help but imagine a good portion of it comes from a male dorf. I can't help but wonder if some gnome tinkerer is making and selling a dorf milking machine. Otherwise, who does the milking?
