Cows being renewable wealth, unlike your stead or furniture...

TR and ST update that, I _think_.

Also remeber from the 'typical stead' writeup how many cows your entire bloodline will have.

I'm just working from the infomation in Storm Tribe about joining a Clan Ring giving a boost in wealth. For some reason It hought it was +10 for a ring member and +20 for the Chief. Most of those who become chieftains or the like are usually pretty wealthy to start with (it takes wealth to maintain that generous trait)

In the same vein, I was thinking for some reason that Tribal Chief would be a +40 and Ring would be +30.
