>I don't think Heortlings practice substantial transhumanance of cattle
We've always assumed that they do. I think it's explicit in the case
of the Aranwyth (in one of the troll supplements). Remember that
Dragon Pass can get cold in winter, so you don't want the cows up in
the hills.
>Water meadows are both prime land and prime cattle country
Yes, and if they have fields on them, you've got to move the cattle
>I have difficulty picturing warriors doing much *direct* herding
up into the hills.
I agree with this at least!

>They live in fortified villages, which they call buries
These have been categorized by the Lunars, with a number and the name
of the headman. I Bury Paul is the most famous.
(Can we use normal names? This is Glorantha, not Jorune. Tula is at
least a concept that might not have a common, equivalent English
word. But let's not have buries, gors, or galts -- or is that gorses
and galtses?.)
