Rationing was lifted in Stianess. Llaness raised 5 houses, 511 in all. Harvests against the need: Llaness from 37% to 211%; what was missing came out of the stores. Llaness had 3,066 people, Stianess 195, Mueness 167 and Zailira 1. Mendbrark ruled. Grain was rationed in Mueness and Zailira. Fear hung over the people, and discontent was growing.
