FWIW, that's an oversimplification -- in fact, gender is simply FAR less important in the Heler cult than elsewhere in Orlanthi culture, despite some write-up appearances to the contrary.

Vinga is a Storm cult not a Death cult --- In Orlanthi culture the Storm is one of the prime sources of fertility, and I can see nothing wrong with the concept of aggressive and stormy female fertility ; I mean just look around, it's all over the place in RW ...
