ISSUE NOTES -
Long ago the human colonists of Silistra waged a war so vicious that centuries later the planet has not recovered. Men and woman alike suffer from infertility - the deadliest legacy of that deadly war. Because the borth rate is so low the Silistrans value above all the ability to bear children... and their social order is based on fertility and sexual prowess.
On a planet desperate for population, women hold the keys to power. These are the adventures of Estri, Well-Keepress of Astria and holder of the ultimate seat of control: The High Couch Of Silistra
