When Greg and I were working with Stefano Gaudiano to come up with the look of the Orlanthi in King of Dragon Pass, we determined that Vingans wear trousers (long dresses aren't quite your combat attire), but they still wear a woman's overdress (at least in Dragon Pass; I don't know what they do in Tarsh). In other words, they are still women.
Enclosure 2 shows a Babeester Gor warrior -- I suppose her sash could be considered a feminine touch, but she wears male-style combat gear. Humakti women likewise.

The Blue Tribe "called upon the powers of the deep, and from its darkest depths crawled Aroka, the enemy Blue Dragon." To me, that means the deep ocean. Plus, Aroka is blue, which doesn't automatically mean water, but in the context of being a creature summoned from the deeps by the water gods...

Waertagi breath air -- was this a typo?
