Hillfolk Band

A Hillfolk band is a mobile hamlet-scale community of roughly twenty-five to seventy-five souls. It lives through herds, hounds, wool, milk, trade with other bands, and occasional contact with Stonetop, Marshedge, or Lygos.

Bands are bound into the larger Hillfolk world by kinship, marriage, treaty, rivalry, feud, and old grudges. Their steading stats should feel sparse but socially dense.

Nomadic camps, seasonal visitors, trading partners, raiders, guides, or kin-groups whose relationships matter more than permanent walls.
