Nearly split down the middle are those who advocate for their death, and those who advocate for imprisonment, interrogation, and in some cases, studding. This is a controversial issue, particularly the last notion; the sylvians are strongly against any kind of unnatural blood proliferating amongst the populace.
"Let those who are cursed with fell blood keep it in their own veins, and not curse our children, and our children's children with it!" is the rallying cry of the sylvian spokespersons.
There is a desire among several prominent leaders to take whatever knowledge the mother bestowed upon them and turn it against her masters and their ilk; greater knowledge of these dark arts is required in order to defend against them.
The prisoners, each and every single one of them, are willing to share their secrets in exchange for their lives. The sylvians call for their execution, or at the very least, castration. Prevent them from breeding, and take the knowledge they're willing to share for ourselves, but only to be used for defense. They do not wish for such knowledge to be twisted against us; even some well-meaning mage in the future may bring unintentional ruin with it.
There are others who cry out against this very act; how can their word be trusted? The first one was willing to die for his cause, so why are these ones not? There must be some greater plot at work! They may even have non-demonic conspirators; who knows who else the demoness may have sunken her fangs into but not bred with! A zero-tolerance stance must be adopted, lest we settle into the comfort of thinking the problem is past, only for their true plan to reveal itself, only by then it will have been too late! We must torture them for more information about co-conspirators!
The debates rage long into the nights, lasting days. Kill them, imprison them, reform them, stud them, castrate them, torture them---the options are too many, and combinations of them pile upon each other.
