Hmmm, let's look at the numbers, then:

           One clan ==    ~1500 people
          One tribe ==  ~12,000 people
   Heortling Sartar == ~288,000 people

That fields a fyrd of about 57,000 armed militia, with about 2,400 people in each tribe's fyrd.

Is that a resonable number? It seems a little shy to me, but I don't have a good feel for strategic level military sizes.

What do the grognards think?
