Red Hair Tribe Q&A

Clan Questionnaire for the Ten Clans of the Red Hair Tribe

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.
The Economy statements are descriptive, not prescriptive.  All Red Hair Tribesfolk will hunt, all will raid for slaves, and all will trade.  The statement indicates a particular interest in that activity.  
Guardian Abilities are decided from the answers to the following questions: 2, 4, 6, 8, 9
 and one related to the two clan runes
