If I recall, a fyrd has to have special rituals said so that the clan can project its magic.

Since its EASY for a clan to use its magic on a tula, raiding an enemy clan can be serious business since projecting your magical power there (onto the enemy home turf) is much more difficult.

But I'd be happy to be wrong about this. I'm thinking though, that the fyrd is related to the clan wyter for combat and the wyter can't leave its turf easily (or at all, depending how you read it) -- adn that would be the tula. Only soemthing like a warband or mercenary unit or military regiment would have a mobile wyter -- it is the equivalent of the regimental colours (touched by the King himself). This adds dire meaning to 'losing the colours'!
