Leika the Ballista, Queen of the Colymar, was once thought to be a Vingan. This was a fair deduction from Storm Tribe/ Thunder Rebels which stated that for women to worship Orlanthi, they have to be Vingans. For five years, that has been the state of knowledge.

Now Jeff Richard, he says Leika is not a Vingan but actually a Redaylan. Not only that, she doesn't have a Ballista (in stark contrast to what was said about her in King of Sartar and Wyrms Footprints). He has invoked Greg on this as proof that his words are holy writ.
