A quotation from Terry Pratchett

In the jungles of central Klatch there are, indeed, lost kingdoms of mysterious Amazonian princesses who capture male explorers for specifically masculine duties. These are indeed rigorous and exhausting and the luckless victims do not last long.*
 
* This is because wiring plugs, putting up shelves, sorting out the funny noises in attics, and mowing lawns can eventually reduce even the strongest constitution.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 9, Eric (1990)

🇬🇧 Identified at birth through rituals and signs read by their elders, the Priestesses of the Serpent are separated from their sisters to undertake a spiritual initiation lasting several decades. They learn how the physical and astral bodies function, how to read the future in water or the stars, how to communicate with flora and fauna, and embrace the dogmas specific to the sisterhood, philosophy, arts and debate. The skills assimilated and perfected by these women over the years are numerous. They represent the backbone of Amazonian society, serving as spiritual and moral guides and practitioners of the arcane. The knowledge and wisdom passed down from generation to generation comes directly from the great elders, the very ones who entrusted the balance of the world to the Mage-Slanns and their bipedal lizards. Apart from these decadent amphibians, it is the Priestesses of the Serpent who have the best understanding of the legacy of the ancients and how to make the best use of the relics they left behind, even more so than the elves isolated in their ivory towers.

🇬🇧 Amazonian headhunters haunt the dense jungles of Lustria, protecting hidden cities and neutralising threats long before their sisters are aware of them. As a result, they tend to spend more time in the forest than with the other Amazons, with whom they eventually become uncomfortable. Archeresses with many years of experience and masters of camouflage, they are the queens of ambush and infiltration in forest environments. The perpetual guerrilla warfare they wage against intruders knows neither warning nor mercy. Whether they are invaders who have come by sea coveting the riches of the cities or reptiles that have ventured into their territory, all usually end up succumbing to the vicious traps and poisoned arrows of these women without understanding what they are fighting against. Their skulls adorn the walls of the Amazon cities where the hunters bring back their trophies, silent warnings to anyone who might have escaped their vigilance.

Zyanya is a renowned hunter among the Amazons, using a trained condor to find her prey and constantly expand her hunting grounds. Elves, human settlers, skaven, or lizards, her hunting record is extremely varied. However, it is her habit of infiltrating the ruins of the ancients – whether abandoned or not – in order to bring back ancient artefacts that has made her name famous within Amazonian society. She has discovered several forgotten structures in hidden valleys within the piranha swamps, where key outposts have been developed to control the region. She also brought back sacred tablets belonging to the lizardmen, stolen from their temples despite the vigilance of their saurian guardians, and forced the high priestesses to return them to their owners before bringing their wrath upon the cities...
