In a brutal and unforgiving world, it was considered cruel in those two kingdoms to not provide a broad education and prepare a woman to protect herself. It was for the good of the woman and the kingdom. Observing nature and natural animal behavior, the females were always strong fighters who fought to protect themselves and their offspring. The observation was made by one of the greatest scholars and philosophers in Solorn, Edmond Shalden, and due to his writings and influence Solorn women were elevated far above many in other places in the world. ↗
