Unless you manually choose their partners, women set to parenting will always go after the oldest male up to the age of 50; once he turns 50, they go after the next oldest.
BTW, Damballah = Haitian?
No, but that is the Wyrm of the World who is wrapped around the equator. Also the Serpent of Wisdom, as I understand it. I've researched it, and this was about all I got. Mostly because the rest of what I read gave me nonsense about a woman that stands on a serpent's head. I've had that username a very long time..almost 10 years.
