Hmm when I wrote this I assumed that there was a strong Ernalda leader type which would make a better example for a tribal queen than Rex.

looking at the the myths I cant actualy see one......certainly Starbrow followed Rex........

There ought to be a history of strong female leaders...rather than women leaders if you follow the distiction. I think a myth or two is required.

Queen Lismelder and Starbrow cant be the only figures to have held positions of power and I see no reason to have several strong Ernaldan figures, ernalda always seems to have a defender (even if its her daughter) rather than acting strongly on her own....
