Well, hw-rules was definitely the wrong list for this, so ...

I disagree. Nevala is almost certainly not female only, just as shepherding
isn't a male-only profession IMO ; as Simon Bray asked, "Where would
Bo Peep be without her sheep?"

Quo Nevala's cult if it involves no going up into the hills with the flocks ?

The Uralda cult is fairly different, but a Uroxi is hardly a cowherd and,
again, what's the point of a Uralda cult that didn't care for the kine ?

Consequently : are you serious that herding is a male profession ?
HW:RiG suggests the opposite !

I think that there are both male and female cowherds and shepherds ;
more female cowherds than male ; more male shepherds than female.

But while there are both male and female cults for shepherds (Voriof,
Heler & Nevala), there is only one cult for cowherds (Uralda).
(Although Barntar certainly has a herder Aspect, and Voriof probably
has a cowherder one.)
