bounty.
Masadéa, n. Fertility goddess introduced to the Lilitic pantheon in 1045 lilpo, whose cult emphasized the hedonistic pursuit of anything that would promote population growth; see theological entry, Founding of Lilikoisa and Decline of Lilitic culture. Not considered part of the traditional Sarthían canon. The name is rarely used in fiction as a sobriquet of someone who thinks nothing of enabling abusers in exchange for her own gratification.
usage: Sparingly used as short-hand for an age of decadence, oblique references to Masadéanism after c. 500 iky are usually accusations of irresponsible indulgence; Karina Etessidta condemns the prototypical Masadéan priestess thusly: "A chain-smoking hooker, heavy-set with her divine responsibility of continuing the race in whatever way necessary. ... She holds a pen in one hand, signing away the lives of her sisters to the green man's dark dungeons, and a bottle of his toxic liquor in the other, carrying not what becomes of her children, born and otherwise."
