Yees, but what does that have to do with your discontent that the greydog campaign is not somehow satisfactory because it did not have a female player or character? Female Orlanthi can be heroes, kill things, go on adventures and amass status and loot. How do you think Lismelder, Kallyr or Leika Ballista got to be queen or Londra to be a sword of Humakt?

Do you? I'm not aware of anything that says that female warriors are regarded as social misfits among the Orlanthi. KoS explicitly says at one point that among the Orlanthi "Warrior women and cloth - -weaving men are both found and accepted" (KoS p242) which seems perfectly reasonable to me.
