Refuse the earth might be closer. It applies to that 15% of women who
do not follow the Way of Ernalda in any of its forms. (For example, I
know a female LM Sage who is troth-bound to marry a clan chief - just
as soon as their pesky Lunar problem is resolved. His mother is a
good Ernaldan, who would much prefer that her son marry one of her
Ernalda cousins in the third clan of the traditional triaty....)

say so, but I will probably be gregged.
Kallyr was middle-aged in 1613; IIRC Leika became chief a couple
years later, and was then about thirty.
