Government

Suteling is governed by Bjan Hargelsen and his lieutenants, most of whom are close kinsmen. There is a well organized “advisory council” who meet regularly with the Jarl to discuss issues of mutual concern. Bjan, born 765, is in excellent health. Suteling receives tribute from Hagelborg, Ijehus, Fyrdaar, Lepesaar, Mosig, Teleborg and Lorin.

Economics

Suteling is a favoured port for seafaring merchants seeking furs and jade. The northern coast, and particularly the Afarezirs, are a rich habitant for sea mammals, and particularly sea otter, whose luxurious pelts are worth a small fortune. Several Suteling clansmen specialize in the trade. A single sea otter pelt, purchased at Suteling for 12d, can be sold in Chelemby for 60d, and ten times that in far off Azeryan.

Suteling is also a good source of high quality jade mined in the Langia hills. The sea is also rich in cod and halibut, exported as dried or salted fish.
