Except Yelornans aren't of Dara Happan origin. Ralian, possibly Sairdite, or native Praxian/Genert's Garden, but not DHan.

I'd agree with that, though - if they want to play for fun, there's always their mounts, equipped with all kinds of maleness. The entire "unicorn riding" idea is a lot of inappropriate flirtation.

Wrong. Maran always was the bad mother, and not through parthenogenesis. That she has no mythical offspring (except the quakebeasts) might be because she sacrificed them?

Are they? I see the cultural role of Babeester as the traumatized woman hitting back, rather than some gruesome virgin defender.

How do Marani get their kids for sacrifice then?

Funny, that Yelmalio statement.
The original cult was Daysenerus. Or was it Daysenera? One of the ambiguous "sons" of Yelm (like Verithurus(a)). Promoted under Nysalor, another not-so-male entity.

If you do it with your wife (or other earth beings). Aetherial companionship with harmonious thoughts... (add other excusatory bullshit here) ... instructing future lance bearers ...
