~o'Dini-Heili~ - In Celebration of Pride

So this pic's original title is Dwarven Princess. Yet I took it as one of my inspirations for Kaure, Lady Vaeol's maidenmate. Kaure is a female Korasha, one of two marginalized cross-clade subgroups in Lashunta Society, along with male Damaya. Just add antennae, and change her hair and eyes to mossy-green.

Kaure's mother disowned her in adolescence when she didn't sprout supermodel-tall like a Damaya, but instead filled out and got Korasha-strong. When she entered Militia Newlinghood, she succeeded in psychically binding a Shotalashu steed. However, her drill instructor forced her to give it up, threatening to kill it, along with the sentence: ~Korasha di lasha,~ - "Korasha do not ride." Instead, she became a stablehand. Even worse, some more predatory males couldn't resist the temptation of a female disenfranchised from the Matriarchy. She eventually got justice and had them banished from the city, although it took a court case to have her female rights validated.

In Lashunta Society, where females rule, ~Korashe~ (female Korasha) have to fight to be recognized as female.

As a teaser for this Saturday, here's a snippet from Chapter 45, in which Lady Vaeol finds herself presented as an expert on ~Aslanta~ - humans...

In my article yesterday on Qabarat, I mentioned the premise of Lashunta in the city's Marshfarthing dwelling on houseboats. This may be a smaller example, suitable for one or a couple. I imagine they may easily run larger.

These guys are a little slighter than I typically look for in representative art for Lashunta males, but I couldn't resist the costuming!

Although #Lashunta society doesn't discriminate on romantic preference, it is required to happen under the Damaya Matriarchy. Thus men focusing on this kind of relationship risk losing a social-support vector. Such couples typically dwell within the household of a mother or sister, according them a place in society and advocating for them.

If a couple of men can't find that kind of matronage, they risk being even further marginalized. There is, however, another option.

Hunters and explorers bring back tales of ~Disadama~ - Men's Hunting Camps - hiding out in the wilderness. Since the ratio of outlaws in Lashunta Society are disproportionately male (due to the female right to banish for any offense), some men have built their own settlements deep within the rainforest. There they have developed their own communities, enacted their own laws, and live as they see fit.

Many outlaws drift through these hunting camps after their banishment, although the hetero-inclined often leave for relationships fitting their preferences (possibly seeking a pardon or matronage that will disregard their offense). Yet for Lashunta males seeking to love and live as they see fit, the men-only places become a dream come true.

There is, however, a risk. The cities' matriarchies may likely be aware of established hunting camps but prefer to ignore them. If, however, a city perceives such an outlaw settlement as a threat - for any reason, whether economic, legal, or even an offense to pride - they may take action. A company of Shotalashu cavalry with Korasha auxiliaries will soon come invading along the treepaths, at which point tragedy may ensue.
