Interpreting the results:
The highest two runes are those 'governing' the clan and its future.
The highest three virtues (four if two tie for third)
Resources are allotted in the usual manner, except that wealth may never be the highest rating.
The Economy statements are descriptive, not prescriptive. All Korer will hunt, all will raid for slaves, and all will trade. The statement indicates a particular interest in that activity. The presence of non-horse herds indicates that the clan is not of the Pure Horse peoples.
Guardian Abilities are decided from the answers to the following questions:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 19, 20 and one related to the two clan runes
