All IMO:
> 1) Do roads in Sartar go through clan property or between borders?
Through. Who's going to keep the roads free of bandits? Bear in mind that there were no major roads at the time that KoDP is set.
> 2) If through do you have to ask permission to pass through tulas
> when you are not stopping?
Not if you are good at sneaking!
> 3) Are the King's Roads like interstate roads, passing around
> settlements?
I think if the roads did bypass settlements, then those settlements would tend to move closer to the road for the economic advantages.
> 4) How do you raid someone far away without fighting every clan
> between you and them.
Negotiate, call in favours, bribe.
> 5) With the Hero Wars rules for Wyters is it impossible to run murder
> mysteries?
No, the wyter doesn't know everything. Clan magic isn't infallible in asking for the answer either even if the wyter knows (if the two are distinguishable). If you take measures to dispose of the deceased's spirit (bind it or banish it, for example) then the wyter won't know what it knows. If the victim didn't see his assassin, the wyter won't know who it was either, unless some other local spirit saw it happen and tells it.

Absolutely!

Yes, but see the last point in the answer to 5.

I think so.
> 9) Do clan members ask permission before going to another clan's

Normally, yes, but they will have to face the consequences if they do not.
