A) The production of food proved a greater quandary to the children than one might imagine such a fundamentally necessary function to be. Farmers and landowners existed in their ranks, but there was nothing resembling the labour force needed for large scale agriculture and the artisans could hardly be expected to swallow their pride and reduce themselves to being simple farmhands, even if it was temporary it could prove difficult. Theldaneth imagined that a system of work rotations and evenly distributed responsibilities might be a solution, but he decided that it was not a battle he wished to fight yet. For now he asked the farmers and landowners to begin work laying the groundwork of agriculture by the river, asking the ship's sailors to assist since on land they were good for little more than unskilled labour anyway.

As a more direct solution to the problem of food he gathered all the workers in things leather and hide. He asked them to organise hunting expeditions, to bolster their numbers he asked the young and energetic among the Children to join them, the thrill of the hunt would do their minds and bodies well. These hunts would provide materials for their crafts and food for the people. Somewhat cynically Theldaneth mused to himself that it might be for the better if the younger generation became accustomed to the sight of blood. In part he hopes that they may also choose a greater diversity of paths than their parents, because Artemon's domain alone is not enough to make the world.

As he tried to organise their small society, Theldaneth became increasingly aware of the limitations the lack of formal authority and organisation put on his ambitions. There was also the imminent problem of trying to organise a society that consisted primarily of middle class artisans, few of whom would likely be eager to demote themselves.
