Bandits & Pirates = DID

Post by Daikinbakuju »

Nowadays, I always associate bandits, pirates, brigands, etc. with kidnapping and imprisonment.

I am in the middle of playing Witcher III, so anytime I come across bandits or pirates, I immediately think about them kidnapping girls and holding them captive in a dungeon deep in their lair or whatever.

It's a classic trope of literature and pretty much any form of entertainment that uses them. It helps that they are historically known for kidnapping an ransoming, I'd imagine.

Are cults associating with abduction as well, or more so with sacrifices?
