RQ2 - I haven't been able to find anything about this in RQ3.

Making characters fight right-handed isn't just a rules construct. Anyon= e
who was trained to fight in a shield-wall will have been trained to fight=

right-handed whatever their natural preference - this is still true today=

for riot training in the British police forces.

Dragonewts presumably have a majority of lefties so enforce the opposite rule. This idea probably had its origin in Chinese mythology where demon= s
fight left-handed.
