When I wrote that in the Glorantha: Intro, I was thinking of the Valkyries as can be evidenced by:
"A select few [women] are trained as knights, but until now
they have never been allowed to fight in battle and are instead
used to rescue the fallen."
Glorantha: Intro p77 >>
This was, of course, exactly the quote on which I was basing my own
statement ;-)
<< The "until now" indicates the order is much older than "very new". >>
I think it indicates the precise opposite. What it does, of course, show is that women who rescued the fallen from the battlefield are not a new thing - - but I wouldn't really define that as a 'warrior' myself.
<< it is only now that they have been allowed to fight. >>
Exactly my point...
Forward the glorious Red Army!
