So it seems that Grandmasters of Devil Worshipper society tend to kill all theri children to absorb their lifeforce. Even their heir. That is a suicide for them as they get no succession. They should tend to absorb the life of bastards or later children, probably until having the +3 Health modifier and then stop. It has happened quite a few times in my game.

For example my liege gave me the kingdom beacause he had absorbed all his children's lifeforce, thus having no heirs. All their children had "vanished without a trace".

I confirm my 16 yo DevilWS Grandmistress has been killing all her 10 kids one at a time. I lost track of her at her 30 yo, my character (the heir of the society) died

Strange behavior... she was too young for the need to drain all the kids

ok, I have seen you can only drain kids under 16 but is it a reason, she was countess, no heir for her dynasty
