_IMG_ there are two types of Woman's Ring; Esrolia-wide and City-connected. The largest meetings are held in Ernalda (the city as per the RQ Companion) after Ernalda HHD ceremonies. Positions are as follows:
Ernalda (Attended by a Chief Priestess of Ernalda) Babeester Gor (replaces Humakt) Ty Kora Tek (Attended by a matriarch of Necropolis) Asrelia (Attended by a leading matriarch of Asrelia's Rest) Maran Gor Voria Wheat Mother (replaces Orlath Thunderous)
Orlanth Rex is omitted. Of course, these women are not there alone but with a loads of scribes and other people.
Individual cities have their own versions but all positions are filled by members of the matriarch's clan or family.=20
Of secondary importance is Husband's Ring; those meetings are held in the same time but in a different place in Ernalda (usually within the confines of Orlanth Thunderous temple.
Argan Argan (Lately held by Argan Argar husband of Hendira) Barntar (largely ceremonial position) Elmal Magasta (Magasta husband from Rhigos, as assigned by the port) Orlanth Thunderous Sun Urox (Ceremonial pries of Urox since many Esrolian Uroxi are women)

Drown the devious land-lubbers first; after that we can concentrate on wiping _each other_ out.=20

Ever read Pierre Bourdieu ? Universities get their support from the establishment and, in return, often take their side no matter how "international" they claim to be. I can imagine faculties churning out reasons of all kinds to "prove" that the whoever pays them is somehow right. (Exceptions do exist, as always)
(OTOH, I can also imagine notes like this in something similar to a year book: "Fertility Disorder Illusion Disorder Fraternity performed an experiment to Godtime and came back as Boggles")
Besides, if taken literally, 'degrees churned out by thousands' hints more to very effective but not necessarily comprehensive education. "Take 'Metaplane Mechanics', it is compulsory - 'Metaplane Ethics' is optional. You do want your degree in time, right ?"
And the more universities, the worse rivalry between them.

IMO nobody truly foresaw the effects of the A-bomb; no amount of mathematics prepared anyone to see the human side of that much destruction. Atomic bomb was just that - a very big bomb.=20
Nowadays people _know all too well_ what are the effects of a nuclear bomb but comdemning Manhattan Project is useless. Nobody really knew - everything else is an afterthought and hindsight.
