Clan chieftains, quite a lot. BA p 5 tells us that the Cinsina have a Vingan queen. The Lismelder were founded by a female leader (cult unknown). I believe the Balkoth have had female leaders in the past.

Or RR? It's a rules thing, really. Hence my picking this list to ask the question :)

Indeed.

Agreed, but that still doesn't mean the tribe should end up with a king with half their feats missing.

I think you'd be surprised just how much time she manages to spend in Sartar, even when exiled. Not going out drinking in Boldhome, admittedly, but she does get at least some of the function of the job done. And the Kheldon haven't yet booted her in favour of someone who'd put more of their time into it.

Rules say no she can't, not without help. But just how hard would it be for her to get help?
Story, IMO, says no she can't, not without help. She *gave up* flying in order to convert to Dar. "Left Vanganth behind", it says. And she rather misses it - but these days she has to be all responsible and adult.

Yes, a potentially important distinction. But is it important, or is it hair-splitting? Dunno.
