True, but it's either some aspect of Orlanth, or Summat Weird. And the norm being Summat Weird doesn't sound right to me.

Yep. And between them, that covers the whole of a normal woman's life.

Sure. Now, which of these covers the guy in his late middle age moving on to old age? Not the Youthful Warrior, obviously. He needn't necessarily be a Storm specialist, he's just a farmer. Allfather, in some aspect or other, perhaps? I just don't want to see all men over about 40 being either useless, or technically women!
