Or a lot of women follow Redalda which seems to be the only women's fire cult. Traditional women's magic (Earth & Harmony) is relatively weak so I'd expect a fair number of Vingans as well. Redalda is the horse goddess so the clan will have lots of good strong horses.

They're going to need this because Praxian's have an especial hatred for horses and those who ride them. It could be a reputation for being able to outfight the nomads because in Sartar horses make much better mounts than the Praxian herd beasts.
