Skills
Six crafts of the year 963 — from combat to gusła. Below, what every level unlocks: recipes, gathering and tools.

Husbandry
Field, flock and homestead in Września. The land bears slowly — but it bears even without you.
Farm animals: traits and mutations
Every animal on the farm has four traits from 0 to 100%. Young inherit them from both parents with some spread, so a better line is bred over generations. Extreme values have their own names, and rare mutations change how an animal looks. An animal’s rarity and price come from its traits and mutations.
| Trait | Effect | At the extremes |
|---|---|---|
| hardiness | Disease takes the beasts with the lowest vigour first. | of iron health / frail |
| fecundity | Raises the breeding rate of the whole fed herd. | remarkably fertile / hardly fertile |
| yield | For females, raises the rate at which produce is yielded. | fine-grown / poor |
| gentleness | Counts toward the beast's rarity, breeding value and price. | gentle as a lamb / ornery |
| Mutations |
|---|
| albinism — snow-white coat and red eyes |
| melanism — feather and coat black as tar |
| gigantism — a beast a head taller than the rest |
| odd eyes — one light, one dark |
| hairlessness — fine down instead of fur |
Hearthcraft
Leaven, pickles, cheeses and honey meads. The vat works, the cellar enriches, the table gladdens.
