Through.

Yes.

I don't think so. Sartar built the roads to link his new cities. Having said that, I don't think the King's road passes down the centre of any villages. It would (originaly) skirt the edges.

Many borders do not touch. There is land between clans that nobody claims. The land is a rugged one with lots of forest cover so it is easy to move small groups around without being seen. GEtting home again with the booty is a different question though. :)

Wytrs don't usually speak at all. They will rattle things or make the clan's alynxes howl. The Cheiftain will know that there is trouble because the wind chimes are singing, and there is no wind. The effect is specific from wytr to wytr and easily recognised by the locals. What the trouble is is something that they then need to figure out.
If you were to run a divination to speak to it then I think that it would speak in riddles. More fun that way.

I dont' see why not.

I don't think so. Smuggling, if it was harmful, but the rest are not really the wytr's area of responsibility.
The wytr only knows about things that happen on the tula. If the love affair involved a member of an enemy clan and that lover came onto the tula then the wytr may report to the chief that there are enemies on the tula.
This could be a very amusing situation. :) George Gwandori is having a picnic with his lover Jane Gorde on the gwandor tula. The gwandor wytr goes apeshit and rattles the captured Gorde banner in the chief's hall - rattles it so hard the banner falls off of the wall. The fyrd is called out in a hurry and the weaponthanes go thundering about on horseback trying to find out where the invasion is...

from the visited clan before you enter their tula. From your own clan,
you may need to ask permission if what you are intending on trading is
communal property.
