Event
The Cage
The people have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the brutal, but necessary, killing of brothers, even infants, when a new Ruler Title takes the throne. If we instead were to confine the brothers of the Ruler Title to Kafes, the cage, a part of the Country Adjective harem, they could live out their days in splendor. This would ensure that the Dynasty dynasty never has a shortage of heirs.

8122historical_info = flavor_tur.109.historical_info Ottoman fratricide fell out of favor in the late 16th century, after the gruesome murders during the enthronements of Murad III and Mehmed III, in which dozens of infants and young boys were slain. Male relatives of the sultan would instead be kept under various degree of house arrest in the harem, and kept passive by luxury and concubines. This ensured the vitality of the dynasty and the stability of the realm, but weakened the personal power of the ruler, since he became more easily replaced.
