A clarification: I use "Cland" to denote all the land encompassed by all the tulas of the clan, and the wilds/ non-stead-claimed lands between the tulas of the clan. E.g. the unclaimed lands/wilds between Thunderoak Stead (a "perimeter" stead) and Bloodbirch Stead (a "central" stead ) are part of the Cland. Unclaimed lands beyond Thunderoak are not part of the Cland, even though the hunters of Thunderoak hunt there.
