Beetle Grove (pop. 80) - named for the giant beetles that once wandered here, this is now prime cattle country, and the site of the hearthstone of the wealthy Beetle Hat bloodline.

Black Rabbit (pop. 60) - a small copper mine stands on the edge of this stead's farmland, where it is operated by the Honeymead bloodline and worked by trollkin thralls.

Dead-Bone Cairn - an artificial hill raised by the EWF and topped by a carved monolith, everyone knows that this is haunted by evil spirits of dragonewts and their victims.

Grey Brook (pop. 70) - many of the clan's beehives are here, operated by the Honeymead bloodline, which also has its hearthstone at the stead.

Hard Hail Ring - an ancient ring of standing stones dating back to the First Age, this spot is sacred to Hedkoranth and is regularly subject to unnaturally localised bad weather.

Ice Rock - at this spot a great spear of ice rises from the middle of the Good River. It neither melts in the height of summer, nor grows larger in the depths of winter.

Kestalulf's Stead (pop. 75) - a possession of the Silent Blade bloodline.

Nevarne's Stead (pop. 100) - the largest stead in the tula, a minor loam daimone contributes to the agricultural bounty of the surrounding area. The generous Two Daughters bloodline has its hearthstone here.

Odayla's Pit - here Odayla successfully laid a trap for the Three Times Rabbit. Lying just within the Borkarth tula, it serves as the tribal temple to Odayla.

Old Watch (pop. 70) - this stead has a high wooden tower, from which guards keep an eye out for Telmori raids.

Raven Field (pop. 75) - here lies the hearthstone of the Silent Blade bloodline, expert raiders with ancient ties to Humakt.

Shadow Eaves (pop. 55) - a small stead, with little farmland, which holds the hearthstone of the Night Arrow bloodline, from whom many of the clan's best hunters come.

Squit's Sump - a minor chaos godling once voided its bowls of noxious diarrhoea here. A steep depression in the ground, it is filled with a rancid scummy goo from which unnaturally repulsive smells emanate, and all efforts to purify the site have failed. Belveren devotees regularly conduct rituals here, to ensure that more mobile chaos does not one day erupt.

Three Spruce (pop. 75) - a possession of the Blackleaf bloodline.

Torf (pop. 50) - a run-down stead with poor farmland and a dismal reputation.

Torkan's Last Fort (pop. 240) - an ancient EWF hill-fort, the current settlement was established by the tribal founder as (at the time) the 'last fort' before Dagori Inkarth. The Fort holds most of the clan temples, with that to Orlanth lying close by. Surrounded by a sturdy wooden palisade, here lies the hall of the clan chieftain and the hearthstone of the prestigious and wealthy Hilltop bloodline.

Valensta's Stead (pop. 60) - this small stead holds the hearthstone of the Blackleaf bloodline, who are noted for their knowledge of herbs and other plant life.

Wind Sack (pop. 70) - operated by the Two Daughters bloodline, this none the less also holds the hearthstone of the Engasson bloodline. Consisting almost entirely of cottars and stickpickers, the downtrodden Engassons eke out a living on the edge of many other steads throughout the tula.
