Happy to be of service, when I am not sidelined as I have been of late by physical and mental illness. And the new HW-Nephilim mailing list I created. Oy vey, what a post volume... and it is only two days old!

Where the resources of the stead are concerned, I am less interested in filling in detail on the hearths as much as those structures relating to the stead's livelihood. Specifically, my thought was to write up the shielings, and the clan shrine to Heler which sits amongst them in the summer meadow. If this works with everyone else, I would like to suggest that this is a stead where the cottar shepherds are its backbone, and the wool here is a prized commodity among the neighboring clans because of the Heler magical influence.
Thoughts?
Also, crops and livestock detail interest me, as I would like to write up a stead calendar with the planting and shearing and haying and whatnot laid out, so a narrator can tell his players useful stuff like "It's late Earth Season, so the plowmen are out planting the rye and the steadwives and children are out a-haying". An Issaries hero might want to appraise the stead's commodities with an eye toward maximizing profits, so I also want to determine what there may be in the way of already-exploited resources like that rare green clay the clan's crafters want for their pottery, or an undiscovered source of bog iron or rare herbs in the woods.
Again, thoughts?
