A while back, Jeff Richard mentioned the Orendanae as a group of sacred
women warriors. I've been trying to find out about them since, but have
only found one mention in KoS: at the time of the first FHQ (and Sartar):
"This was a great time for the Earth Tribe.... in Sartar the Orendanae sat
upon the tribal rings of the three main tribes".
Jeff seems to have them as mainly but not exclusively Babeester Gor
initates, who don't seem like the sort of people you'd have on a tribal
ring by choice. Anyone want to tell me more about them?
BTW, those three main tribes. Which were they? The Colymar get most
write-ups, but which are the "main" ones? One quote that may or may not
be relevant: "Ernaldinni Wolfkiller, who was on the Kheldon Ring when
Sartar came to the land": that name sounds like she's heavily
earth-related, and "wolf-killer" implies a warrior.
