Well, not forever, the number of Passives/Minors has to be such that it makes sense to accomplish them all in a season. But the right traits could help with increasing that number. A couple of people have things like boosted endurance and Tireless.
Or just being really good at the relevant skill. A guy with Masonry 2 or Masonry kunna or whatever it is will probably be able to do a lot more stonework than a guy with Masonry 0 in the same amount of time.
 
-[X] Passive 1: If there's any flax left after Agnes finishes grabbing it, Erik's mother Unna takes some flax and goes onto an "always be spinning" kick. It becomes virtually impossible to see her at any time when she is NOT twirling a spindle.
Currently only Harald has given me flax. I think it counts as personal property so, I cannot just grab all of it. So Unna only has the flax you own.
 
Not long after their spar, Gefjosa stomps up to Agmundr. She's clearly still mad but less. And it doesn't fully seem directed at Agmundr. "Hey." She huffs. "I'm sorry for being odrengr after our fight. You beat me fair and square. I was just… looking forward to practicing my Glima against someone who isn't Uncle Njal and I heard how good you were getting and I wanted to see how good I was getting and then… and then… I LOST BEFORE I EVEN REACHED ANYONE! AGAIN!" Gefjosa is bellowing now, hot air misting from her flaring nostrils. The ground craters. Grave-scent.

With a final huff, she calms herself. "But you won. And… if I just wanted to practice Glima… I shouldn't have challenged you to a spar… so, w-what I'm trying to say is… do you want to practice Glima with me and Uncle Njal sometime?" She looks down, hair falling in her eyes. "If I'm going to get better, I need to fight against someone who isn't afraid to hurt me."

Given that flax is largely useless unless spun into thread, I'd think that... hm. Ah. Yeah. Let's see, does anyone know of anyone else who has flax?

Agmundr's expression brightens immediately upon learning that he hasn't gotten into another situation that his blood brothers will need to bail him out of again. "I'd be happy to practice glima with you!" he replies, before getting a thoughtful look on his face and scratching his scraggly beard with a spectral hand. "I've not actually practiced much with others yet, I've been using my hands to practice on myself. Should I avoid using them on you?"

Prestige

So, Prestige has started to come into play, so a brief explanation is in order: Prestige is the additional potential Ordstirr one gets from owning property and/or living on well kept property.

Every 3 Prestige on a piece of property grants 1 Ordstirr per season, with any excess Prestige 'wasted' (ie: 5 Prestige grants 1 Ordstirr with no leftovers). Of this, generally 2/3 (rounded up) goes to the landholder and 1/3 to any related tenants or sworn men. Other people who live there seldom get anything.

Now, what determines Prestige is generally pretty simple: For the most part, whatever materials were used in making a piece of infrastructure like a house add their level in Prestige. so a Basic House, made with level 1 Fasteners and llevel 1 Wood thus gains +2 Prestige, while one made with level 2 Fasteners and Wood would be +4 Prestige. Sometimes, other features are worth prestige on a case by case basis, but that's the basics.


Does it divide between people or give flat percents? Example: I have a piece of property with 18 prestige. I have 2 relatives living with me. If I get 4 ordstirr, do they get 1 or 2 each?

Gefjosa turns scarlet. "We can practice with Kunna some of the time."
 
Hulfr Hardwood Earns his name.

Major: Craft sets of equipment. 1 Lamellar Armor breast plate, 1 wooden Helm. 1 Spear haft, 1 bow and 2 shields. Making as many sets as possible.



Hulfr rests uneasily. Tomorrow he begins work, an ungodly amount of work. It reminds him of his master.

Viðr was like a father to him when his father was never much of one.
Which isn't to say that his teacher was a kind man.

Sometimes Hulfr still thinks of that fucking sphere.

The sphere is how he got his Kunna. It was barely tall enough to sit inside and sealed by Kunna and a few feet thick.Only one small hole for air and light. He had to get his Wood Kunna or die inside of it. All he could smell was the wood, all he could see was darkness and wood. He eat what sap he could extract and drank what little water he could get from pulping the wood.

Every sense, every moment, life and death it was all wood based.

It was more than a week, and even earning the Kunna was not enough he had to use it well enough to get himself out of the thick prison.

He did of course, but it was in short a very bad, no good, terrible fucking time.

Some days he thinks about when he will have an apprentice, but he isn't quite ready to craft a sphere of his own.

Tomorrow he gets to work, using what that prison gave him.
A cruel teacher is not always a bad one.
 
@mythfan12

So, Njal Ulfson has a crop of flax in, and going by Njal's character sheet, it's not clear whether Njal has anyone in the household inclined to spin the flax into thread, nor did your vote include any provision for doing that so far as I can see. Since Erik Hardhead's household includes two NPCs who are probably pretty good with a distaff, how about a Passive for spinning flax into thread? As a starting offer, Erik's household will keep one third of the thread and also enough of Njal's seed stock to sow flax themselves next summer, while Njal gets two thirds of the thread. Seem fair?

I'm honestly not sure this is the best way to go about this right now. We have weapons, but almost completely lack armor. Focusing on armor and shields seems like it might be the way to go? I dunno.
