All true - maybe I just need to move culture :)
Good point, though. I have vague memories of Celtic warriors being fined if they got overweight, but they're only vague, and of course Orlanthi aren't a direct analogue anyway. Sounds as if that Maran Gor priestess thinks it's attractive (er, at least, it's something she does by choice, not sure "attractive" is the word I want here?).
