> Yep. The wyter protects the core lands and holy places of the clan. There are going to be lots of land claimed by a clan that are not protected by the wyter. And the wyter may protect areas that would not seem obviously important and ignore economically valuable places.

I always also figured that the clan was responsible for what went on in the lands protected by their wyter, but less so in traditional hunting lands, etc. Also that there must be some cost to the clan for larger wyter supervised areas, if only longer walks during certain ceremonies. So if there are dangerous landscape spirits, you probably don't have them within your boundaries. If there are rough lands that you don't have the resources to properly patrol, you probably don't want them within your boundaries.
As a result, the spaces between clans would often not be the most pleasant places.... :)
