True, but we all know (from Jeff Richard :-) that Dragon Pass has bitterly cold winters, so those short skirts (or kilts, if you prefer) aren't too practical. (IMG they're a Ralian thing.)
Since the women of Dragon Pass (if not all Heortling women) wear long skirts, the sudden appearance of women with short skirts would probably not visually convey that they were fighting women. The fact that they are garbed as a warrior does.
