+Absentee Landlords own a number of small 'estates' around the town.  Often forming a small hamlets with a single business at its center, they provide the backbone of the Stagmoors finances.  Three or four smallholdings gather around a small agribusiness -  a shearing shed, a dying craft shop, a cheese making workshop, are overseen by a steward, with the small holdings rented out, and the businesses working for the community as a whole, rather than just to make profit for the owners.  Sir Peston owns the cheese factory, the wool shearing sheds are owned through a state intermediary, and the dying plant is owned (communally) by a consortium of local farmers.

+Main exports are:
+  * Stagmoor Cheese - hard, mature cheese that will serve as trail rations or can be stored as winter provisions. The 'wheels' are all coated in a crust of heather and pine dust, making a slightly preservative rind.
+  * Stagmoor Sausage - each farm makes their own, a salted, dried, preserved sausage, liberally 'spiced' with Heather and Pine flavourings -  both slightly antiseptic and help the sausage last longer, as well as carrying the distinctive flavours of Stagmoor.
+  * Homespun Yarn -  once the has been shorn and sorted, it is distributed to home spinners to produce yarn using a drop spindle.  Homespun, is the heaviest and simplest category, often unwashed, good for knitting hats, socks and shawls.
+  * Died Yarn - the better quality woll is sorted and sent to the better home spinners  with a spinning wheel.  The yarn is dyed grey, green or brown before export to the weavers in Westhaven.
