The three breeders of Rileikoul keep breedings within their own stock to ensure desired results. Foreigners do not have that option, as the nutritious lichen that females must consume before mating grows only in the environs of the drow underworld. Dwahro has developed a system to allow offworlders with females to breed them that will minimize his losses and still satisfy both trainer and female.

Below are the steps involved in breeding an offworld female.

1. The trainer brings their female to Rileikoul and fills out a number of forms, from things as basic as their name and location to more specific areas, such as what traits (stats) they'd like to be passed to the offspring, excluding luck. Dwahro's been in the business long enough that he knows how to achieve some specific results from a pairing.

2. The female begins their month-long diet of lichen, enhanced by the usual meat and treats. As this month progresses she will become slightly more irritable and combative. This will help her when battling prospective mates, ensuring that she find the best one.

3. Dwahro will set certain guidelines for participating males and then throw the doors wide, allowing males owned by various trainers and who fit the guidelines to sign up for the female's mating. Full siblings are not permitted to breed, but half-siblings are. The drakkin don't really care. If she is the leader of her own colony (none yet established outside the arena) then things will be a bit different. I'll go into that when it becomes relevant.

4. With a total of five males signed up to compete with the female, Dwahro will approach the trainer and ask them their preferred choice. This by no means assures that he will be the winner, but he'll have a slight edge against the others when the time comes.

5. That time will eventually come after the appropriate number of males have signed up and the preferred mate has been mentioned. The female's month-long diet will have been completed and she'll be ready to fight, snappy and dangerous. The much smaller males will all be set loose against the female at once and a free-for-all will commence. (At this point, I will roll a six-sided die to determine the winner. The preferred choice will be given two numbers instead of one, thereby doubling his chances but still leaving things up to the female.) When the female makes her choice, the two of them mate and the others are left to slink back to their trainers and be healed.

6. The female will be stuck in Rileikoul for three months as she grows more and more egg-heavy. During that time she will reside with her trainer in the arena proper, several rooms having been assigned for their use when they first arrived in the city. When her time for clutching comes, she will do so in a pre-hollowed-out portion of the room, near a wall, that she has been "perfecting" for three months. The number of eggs she lays will coincide with her luck plus one for her first clutch (or three minimum), a random number for all successive clutches.

7. The owner of the female will be granted one of the hatchlings, their choice (excluding a female if there is one, which Dwahro will be forced to hand out to a buyer by the other breeders), the owner of the male will get one as well (if the mother and father are owned by the same person, they will receive two), and Dwahro will receive either one or two hatchlings (one if the clutch is five or less, two if it's six or above). What, you didn't expect him to do this without profiting hugely, did you? The rest will be available for purchase by others, much like any other clutch, and the offerings will be given to the owner of the female. Names will follow the style of the mother's rather than the father's. Once the hatchlings have been rewarded, the trainer and their female will be able to go back home after about half a year total in the city.

Only ONE offworld female may be signed up to breed at a time.
