There seems to be more military/war/fighting emphasis in Eddisian culture than in Attolian: -There's that part in QofA where someone mentions that the Eddisian army is particularly badass because they have "little to do all winter other than train for war." -QofA narrates that Irene "doesn't pretend to be a soldier" and is again, envious of Helen because she has been trained in the art of war since she was 8 years old and "while not as dangerous as a soldier, Helen could fight her own battles, if she chose." -CofK where Sophos is running after Helen and her entourage of guards and attendants after Helen leaves him after their fight and every individual in that entourage points a weapon at Sophos, including her female attendants, likely meaning that all Eddisian women were trained to handle weapons and fight to some degree.
