Community Questionnaire for the Teshnans of the Steppe
The Teshnans are very varied in their attitudes not least because they are varied in their forms of religion to such a high degree. No shrines are common to all, even though there are common themes.
Similarly, there is no common economy for them. This is inevitable, given that they are from disparate peoples, 'scooped -up' by Sheng Seleris for his own purposes.

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 Teshnan 'Pentans' 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: 3-8 & 12, 14 & 15 and one related to the two clan runes
