Oh and in addition all the player characters have to come from Orlanth (inc. Vinga), Ernalda, or Heler (the clan's one-in-seven tend al to be Heler). Most of the players are initiates. One house rule allows heroes to be multiple initiates - to refelct say the farmer who fights with the fyrd initiating to Durev and Starkval - provided they add the extra initiation to their 100 words (don't have notes to hand but I think I allow them an extra affinity at 13 for that). That fits for me a vision of a community with less-specialists and more generalists, and echoes the kind of farmer-warriors found in Icelandic saga. IIRC some are concentrated, some are not. Interestingly it has tended to be the 'one-in-seven' players who worship Heler, who are playing the devotees.
