SLIGHT TOB SPOILERS AHEAD
(all those except true purists can go ahead & read it)

The only indications that the total number of children is more than 20 are in the final movie of BG1, the utter *strangeness* of some of the Bhaalspawn you meet in ToB, and also the extreme frequency of the term 'Bhaalspawn' in ToB. Some of these "God-Children" are, to put it bluntly, NOT to be feared. Maybe Alaundo wrote his prophecy to reflect the number of 'mortal progeny' who were actually worth mentioning.

END O' SPOILERS

Stand on the top floor of the Iron Throne and mouse over the railing--it says that it looks as if it has been recently repaired, although Sarevok's diary states that he's known about his heritage for some time. So the hapless soul he chucks off the roof is most likely the first person that Sarevok discovered was a Child of Bhaal. That the guy knew where to find more Bhaalspawn is unlikely--it sounds like something one might say in a moment of desperation, to get the guy to NOT kill you, and Sarevok most likely saw it as such. (Okay, I'm psychoanalyzing a video-game character. Somebody stop me NOW.) Given Sarevok's intense interest in (and amount of research on) the subject, it may very well have been HE who enlightened the guy as to his parentage--just before he killed him, of course.
