In some old discussions that Greg, Harald Smith and I had, Holaya was a goddess associated with the horse goddess Redalda. Currently, I am playing around with the idea that the Queen of Holay was traditionally a member of the Vingan cult at Filichet and is crowned pursuant to the Orlanth Rex rites. Since the submission of Holay to the Lunars, the Queen of Holay is normally a Hwarin Dalthippa cultist.
One thing is clear - Holay is not a matriarchy like Esrolia, but one of the many interesting Sairdite-Orlanthi kingdoms that formed in the wake of the wars against the EWF and in the chaos following the Dragonkill.
