Smallfolk and Craftsmen?

[Tacye]

It might be nice to learn more about the common people and the craftsmen--what they do when they're not being ravaged by war. Also, maybe information about what kinds of goods different areas of Westeros might be famous for? (Example: the Redwynes and their arbors produce the best wines, unless you ask a Dornishman).

The first bit won't really be covered in this book -- you can find reasonably applicable information in non-fiction texts such as the "Life in a Medieval ..." series.

What sort of goods different areas are known for would certainly bear mentioning, however, I think.

Does Westeros produce Opus Anglicanum/Andal Work?

Like this?

Some of the folktales told by the peasants, like Old Nan, might be interesting. In the real world most folktales do have at least a grain of truth, so people might be able to derive some sort of history from some of them.
