I was more concerned about the fact that Marcella actually said taint made inbreeding not only ok, but better.

Yeah is there any evidence that inbreeding causes genetic defects or anything in Lusternia? Why wouldn't it be okay? Lusternian genetics obviously don't work like real life.
Paavik's village quest is about the total shame of the krokani family over incest and the murder of many of their family over someone screwing their sister.
And yet a lot of viscanti lore is about....how incest makes them better, so.
Paavik's village quest is about the total shame of the krokani family over incest and the murder of many of their family over someone screwing their sister.
I think we have to assume that the incest taboo is more or less universal in Lusternia simply because close relatives can't marry each other.
On genetics, I like to think that they more or less apply to everything that hasn't been through the Portal, because that makes science writing way easier. Inbreeding such that the offspring have more taint in them (because who knows how the taint meshes with genetics, really?) might work out to a net gain, though.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

I know there was always an ooc joke about inbreeding, relating to Thalkros creeping on his female relatives. Maybe she just fell for Daddy's pick-up line?

Oooo... come on, fire me up.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Glevich's life is drowned out and stifled by the fierce force of the maelstrom. Glevich has been slain by Neos. Glevich drops a piece of black earwort. Glevich drops a stalk of faeleaf.

Taevyn's deadly, poisonous blood splashes across Neos, who recoils as his skin hisses and melts. Vivet's image blurs, and she briefly appears to be Feyda, who takes the damage that was meant for Vivet. Feyda has been slain by Vivet. Feyda has left the area.
