"Раскрывающийся текст"

For generations, the Eigel family and the Holtz family have lived

and farmed near the Oberslecht, beyond the view of most Stormdorf

citizens. Separated from the rest of Stromdorf by both geography

and habit, the Holtz and Eigel clans rarely emerge to visit

the town, and even more rarely receive visitors. Over the years, the

inbreeding resulting from this insular nature has become increasingly

visible, particularly in the Holtz family, and the people of

Stormdorf tend to attribute any odd behaviour to this “condition.”

And there is some very odd behaviour, indeed. Being so close to

the Oberslecht, these farm families know that a herd of beastmen,

the Madteeth, dwell within those wilds, a nightmare that could,

with the proper motivation and leadership, wipe out all vestiges of

civilisation in the region. To prevent this devastation, the families

have maintained a tradition of lascivious festivals in which they

sacrifice meat and ale to the herd – and consort with the beastmen

in an unsavoury manner.

Occasionally, they offer up an unlucky traveller, secured with the

unwitting aid of Keila Cobblepot, to the beastmen at the hag-tree

near the edge of the Oberslecht. Occasionally, they offer up one of

their own number to satisfy the beastmen’s carnal needs.

The beastmen are pleased by the depravity of the Holtz and Eigel

families, and even more pleased by the quality of the Thunderwater

Ale they bring, and suffer their farms to stand and their children to

live. For now.

Occasionally, the beastmen raid their livestock and murder and

cannibalise stray family members caught outside after dark. Even

when their bloodlust overcomes them, they pass the first two farms

by and move on to other isolated farmsteads or into the foothills to

hunt goblins and sheep.

It is largely thanks to the Madteeth’s bray-shaman Foaldeath that

the humans survive. Foaldeath was born to an in-bred, although

human mother, Marie Holtz, and was surrendered to and raised

by the beastmen tribe. Now a powerful and influential shaman,

Foaldeath is a tortured being who looks with envious eyes at the

peace and happiness the humans live in, hating and loving his human

family and human mother in equal measure.

А другие примеры такого сожительства есть?

Ну если посмотреть на историю происхождения веролюдов, то ничего удивительного я не вижу.
