One of my absolute favourite pictures Ossi Hiekkala has done for the forthcoming Sartar Book. This shows a typical free Sartarite farmer (of the Orlmarth Clan to be precise) and his child. Note the broad hat for working in the sun and his bronze sickle. And the ubiquitous dagger. But it also shows the tenderness and family love present in the society.
Sartarite farmer by Ossi Hiekkala
This is your rank and file of the Orlanth cult. Folk seeking to protect and provide for their family, with the aid and support of the gods. That is no tenant farmer. He plows, tills the earth, and does whatever work is needed. But he is not a “cottar” but a free farmer.
