John Hughes comments on Yinkin have given me an idea. In Brolia
traditionally women can't be Wrothelingan/Odaylan hunters because several
important cult rituals are hieroi gamoi. So independant-minded women have
to travel to Anadiki, Xarkarsh or Worion join a foreign cult and quite
likely never return home. OTOH they could worship Yinkin and remain in
the normal clan structure. Such circumstances would probably end up with
Yinkin worship being dominated by the kind of people who would join Vinga
or Babeester in more civilized regions.
