I think the answer to that one is a uniform 'NO'. ALL Orlanthi will go = by the Sundial clock.....most farmers will get up when it gets light = enough to work...or living in close proximity to their animals they'll = get up when the Cows start DEMANDING to be milked. Animals are creatures = of habit and know when they're 'supposed' to be fed/milked etc. Its not = a unusal site for me to see a entire heard of cows making its way back = across the fields heading for the milking parlour without any human in = attendance on the farms on the oposite side to valley (although they do = need a hand if there any gates...and farmers need to guard crops of = things other than grass.....). Staring out my window now I can see the = horses linedup outside...they're convinced I'm late in feeding = them...and when the clocks go forward or back...well I have some very = annoyed horseflesh to deal with!
Of course the 15% of Urbanised Orlanthi may very well have all kinds of = clockwatching habits.......and for those other's of the Storm Tribe...I = hate to imagine the Time keeping feuds and devices in a L-M Greybeards = Temple........
