Can somebody explain the
"Hersella without XX" nickname?
I don't get it...

That's just a palisade wall, pretty easy to make and fast to build. It's pretty much the basic of basics in medieval fortifications, which makes sense for them.

and that the houses are made of brick makes also sense for a nomadic tribe?

You were talking about fortifications, not houses

 

[elmo182]

"without XX" the fuck does that mean?

The original term used was "fortified capital", which among other things requires both fortifications and houses. Certainly not the kind of settlement that you would expect of a nomadic people, although to give the author some benefit of the doubt it's possible that they're in the process of transitioning to a more settled society, or that they're more accurately described as semi-nomadic and travel seasonally between relatively established towns.

Tangentially, I wonder if the name Aishangior is a reference to Aisin Gioro, the name of the Manchu "barbarian" clan that defeated China's Ming dynasty and replaced it with the Qing. They were historically on the more sedentary side I believe, but I may well be stretching too far at this point. It's also difficult when the names are spelled differently almost every time they appear X'D

Maybe just XX for female chromosome
That is at least reference her not having a living mother
And possibly her being such a brutal boss without feminine trait aside from her physical body.
