## Society

Each steading within the Weyridenn Circle is made up of 2 to 4 families that work, trade, and live within these communities.Each have their own hierarchy and traditions created over the last few generations, but they all ultimately work together to survive.Their main focus is trade within the Veiled Mountains and into the Tempest Hills and the Hinterlands.

The people of the Weyridenn Circle trade, collaborate, share, and marry into other steadings easily in order to maintain a healthy population and a well rounded collection of skills used to maintain each steading individually and the clan as a whole. Marriages are often ways of sharing resources and skills, and is the most common. However, depending on the need in a community, individuals are allowed to move to other steadings within the networks freely. Those who choose to leave the clan are often looked down upon and even shunned as this act is seen as selfish and detrimental to the society.

## Economy

Each steading has a trade or two that they focus on more closely either due to their location, skills, or family history, however they often have at least one or two people (either from within their steading or from another) that have experience or even expertise in each of the following:

* Traders and Merchants
* Hunters, Trappers, and Scouts
* Elders and Leaders
* Domestic Leaders and Caregivers
* Animal Caretakers
* Farmers and Foragers
* Ceremonial Leaders and History Collectors
* Miners
* Herbalists
* Fishers
