Go with any multiple of 17. So you could use 0.17%, 1.7% or 17%.

That's likely the Afadjanni system - but it is pretty much a "top-down" thing. Most people caught up within the machination of it all likely just get on with their lives whilst acknowledging the structure of the Ompalam Cult. That said, if you are a slave on a plantation it is pretty hard to ignore the sheer nastiness of the system (i.e. become a PC).

Afadjann is with pout doubt one of he major areas of Glorantha that is really hardly explored, sadly so.

A campaign development of "Harrek's Saga" would be great!!!

My first PC was a scorpion man - way back in 1979 when previous experience was only vaguely understood.

Don't forget the social and fraternal (i.e. drinking) societies, associations and sworn brotherhoods - medieval people were pretty mad-keen on joining groups and clubs of all sorts.

The sad fact is that anything outside Central Genertela is very poorly covered (if at all).

There isn’t even very much on Teshnos in ‘Revealed Mythologies’.

Not Heorting but closely related: there's a plan of a typical Steadholder's house in the oop RQ3 Dorastor, page 109. Basically an oblong with a front and rear entrance in the middle of the longer sides, with the hearth and living quarters, then private quarters to the right of the entrances, and stalls for livestock to the left of the entrances. The same publication has diagram's of richer buildings - a chieftain's hall and council hall on page 113.

The forthcoming The Coming Storm will also contain information about households in Sartar, including: A longhouse is a long, narrow, timber-framed building. The walls are of wattle-and-daub, the roof of tiles. The ceiling is open to the top of the rafters, which are used for storage. The floor is rough earth. Often, the building is divided into three portions: stalls for cattle, a single living space, and bedrooms. In richer houses the cattle live in a separate byre.

The Coming Storm contains a lot more information, so whilst it is written for HeroQuest there's a very great deal of general background in it, about houses, steads and villages.

I've lived in old houses and even renewed an earthen floor... poured bullocks' blood and wiped it for hours to polish up a tough Lino-like surface.

That is indeed what I was looking at.

Now I'm far more interested in Pamaltelan pygmies... but you have to start somewhere in order to extrapolate!

Are there any official stats for pygmies? There are the mods to SIZ & STR in 'Drastic Resolutions' and 'Heroes' magazine. However, is there anything further?
