The Community Questionnaire (for players)
Notes:
The economic interests of even a small Carmanian House is diverse and widespread. Nearly every House conducts some business that involves both urban and rural resources - agriculture, mining, manufacture, and trade. A House usually controls ten times its number of Djomari (serfs), divided into fiefs of widely diverging economic specialty. For this reason I have not emphasized the economic specialty of the House being described. I leave that to the Narrator to decide when describing a particular Cassir (castle) or trade organization. Religion is also too diverse to cover with any degree of completeness. Most noble Houses have some members that worship in sophisticated urban patterns, and others that follow older rural traditions. Urban nobles tend to practice pure sorcerery or venerate only the Invisible God, while the rural nobles revere deities - sometimes through veneration and sometimes with sacrifice. Most Houses also have ancestral hero cults and secret knowledge that they cultivate for use against their enemies. The community questionnaire generates some cult affiliations, but many more are probably found within the noble House. Worship of Carmanos and the Lunar cults of Arronius Joranthir, Yanafal Tarnils, ect are widespread throughout the Western Reaches. Other deities worshipped vary by region: Bindle: Bisos (with Esus and Kereus as subcults)
