To make matters even worse, the water was never fixed and a new water source was never used, so even in the present day infertility continues to plague the population. The Prescotts (the rich family that practically owns the town) came up with a solution by kidnapping women and girls from other areas, impregnating them, and giving the townspeople their babies. Eventually, Thomas Prescott began to sell babies to rich couples looking to adopt, and soon afterwards began to sell babies to human traffickers. The townspeople turned a blind eye to this because the money from traffickers brought much-needed income to Drisking. As for the kidnapped women, they're forced to bear children until they become too old or sick to continue; once they've [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived their usefulness]], they're pushed a giant machine that was used to refine ore until nothing is left of their bodies but dust. This baby machine scheme has been going on for quite some time, and anyone who tries to whistleblow is swiftly dealt with.]]
