According to Graeme Lindsell, a few months ago there was some discussion of why Berra Thengan in Risklands is a member of Vinga the Adventuress when he is a man. Graeme and Nick Brooke suggested I post my idea for a solution.
I think Berra Thengan is homosexual. In some cultures, homosexuals find their place in society by adopting some or all of the roles of the other sex. In Glorantha, this may be reflected in men who join women's cults and women who join men's cults. Of course, not all cults are strongly identified with the role of one sex or the other and many such cults provide a role model for members of either sex.
Graeme also notes that both Berra Thengan and Renekot are bachelors...
