Lodril(li) in Peloria

Let's continue the trend. I've been wanting to run a game set in the empire eventually, with lunar aligned players doing lunar things, so lets talk about the rural parts of the empire, away from the glitz of Glamour. Specifically more interested in social things for bringing an adventure into Lodrilli territory than esoterics and name games, but if conversation drifts towards that then whatever.

The Guide says that a Lodrilli farming village tends to be 2-5 extended families and that social success is measured by the amount of dependents you can maintain, but how extended are we talking here? What's a normal population for a village in the heartlands and how much land are they able to maintain? Are the vast majority of village folk farmers/herders as their primary trade, or is there a separation of duties such that some people are always responsible for certain other labors such as maintenance of irrigation channels or other tasks instead of direct farm work? Are taxes in kind collected at the village, or are they delivered?

Urban Dara Happa walls their cities, do the villages nearby also have that concern, or do the interconnected nature of their houses turn the entire village into a defensible point/holdfast? Do they prefer to build on hills for relative defensibility, or are their social/political concerns that lead them to build just anywhere? (I.E. "secure peasants are troublesome, tell them to tear it down and move down by the river."
