First three make sense. When would fertility mean pessimism?

If one does not want children, usually. I mean, it can metaphorically stand in for having a really nice garden, but a classic limited-draw is people who are planning to have sex mixing 'health luck surprise fertility' draw two you want the first two?

There is a very big cultural gap present, I think.

Oh?

Nothing about that makes any sense. Do - do married couples just sometimes accidentally wake up with a baby?

...there is a pregnancy first. And while it is frowned upon they are not necessarily married at the time.

Yes, there's a large cultural gap here. The Eldar couldn't get pregnant by accident, and couldn't stay pregnant without both fully desiring a child, and couldn't do things that result in pregnancy without being married.

Marriage is a social recognition thing for us. And pregnancies just happen given the biological prerequisites and do not require paternal knowledge let alone either party's consent.

You may have better prophecy but I think we have better reproduction.

I'll concede that. Although inextricably tying marriage and sex seems like it'd have its own drawbacks.

Accidental marriages happen but are very uncommon. Coerced ones have happened a few times in our history and are considered a terrible evil.

Terrible evil if you don't call the parties 'married' afterwards, and I don't think that part could possibly help.

Yes. Coerced or unintentional children seems much worse, though.

Never occurred to me to compare. Anyway, in Welce the blessings are a reasonable warning as long as people remember to use them and wait if they get a result they don't like; I'm not sure what they do in other countries.

Refrain, perhaps. That is quite a chance to take.

I do not think that is what they do.

If there's an engineering solution possible I think lots of people will be very interested in developing it for your world after we've ended death.

That would be nice!

I cannot promise the timescale on which it happens will impress you.

It'd still be nice, just not as nice.

My father works fast even in mortal terms but biology's pretty far afield for him. 

Well, nobody's holding their breath.

We are tremendously indebted to you. We'll make it happen.

Thanks. It is not a traditional reward for wartime assistance but it's much more practical.

Our world has no traditional rewards for wartime assistance and this seems like a good one to start a tradition with.
