Are you suggesting that almost every woman in every culture participates in one of these? If so, then the rules are missing that. Or are you saying that most religions include a mother figure in them, so the relationship to the religion overall counts? That is, Ernalda is adressed in Orlanthi religion, so just having a relationship with the religion would count? Also, what about the piety ability? Wouldn't the goddess tend to bless the birth more for a devout woman? Or should the effect be more discreet than that?

I'm very interested in this.
