Playing KODP gave me a new POV on the meaning of Wealth in the orlanthi culture, but of course mixed up things a bit to me:

What is the part of Wealth that belong to a clan / individual

    (if there is a concept of property similar to the one of our modern      world? after all, the wealth of foreigners trepassing clan territorial

     limits seem more or less to rightfully belong to the clan as they can

     be killed without thinking twice)?
 What guarantees wealth for an individual?    (The clan, some laws/customs, the right of the mightiest?)

It seems to me that this concept must be very different also in a clan stronghold and in a big town (e.g. Boldhome or better, Nochet).

I had always imagined relations with wealth in the Lunar society as in our
modern world, is it the case?

What about the westeners? reading the exellent write up on knigths (V7.293 Peter Metcalfe),
  I couldn't help thinking it must be different according to the religous inclination as well
  as the social level/caste.

Well thats a lot of questions that must probably have been discussed earlier so an earlier
reference in the GD would be welcome.
