If a completely unoffical one will do, I wrote up an equally unofficial description on an all-female army unit in Kralorela some years ago and posted it to the Digest. Its commander has the rank of an exarch and is called the Hooded Exarch because she always wears a hood to conceal her gender.

The North Arm peoples can sail long distances like the polynesians, but in both cases the vessels are small, even if they are seaworthy, and not suitable for a military navy. Not to mention that the stone age economy of the North Arm cannot support a navy.
But to clarify then, the North Arm ships can sail for as long as the fresh water supply aboard allows. And desalination magic is fairly common among the Islanders, so I don't doubt they could sail to Luathela (if they wanted).
