In "King of Dragon Pass", your council would get very upset with you if you tried to raid during harvest time. Probably all the tribes pull back on everything else, so they can work on the harvest--which means your own weaponthanes can spend less time patrolling, too, since you're not as likely to be raided.
Of course, that means people who work by a different schedule--like Grazelanders, or Praxians, or above all Uz--would be delighted to raid right in the middle of the harvest. So don't relax *too* much!

I think Issaries is far the most flexible of the Heortling gods, if only because he's the one who has to deal with strangers the most. Besides which, he's hardly the most authoritative god--if Ernalda says "your silly market will have to wait until the barley's brought in", he's not going to argue.
