Yeah that's about right. Hunting is probably more important for trade goods than for food.

Slightly higher amongst the Bacofi and Sylangi, Slightly lower amongst the Volsaxi. I suspect there is a fair amount of hunting around the Backmarsh (which is not haunted by undead - just trolls). The Volsaxiland and the Dales are good farming country, with plenty of grazing in the Finovan Hills and in Destor's Hills. BTW, I think the regional chief Ernalda temple is at Vorda Hill.
