 '''Bailey hamlets''' are clusters of tightly-knit dwellings and buildings, enclosed within a defensive outerwork known as a [[Bailey|bailey]], which provides protection to the [[Hamlet|hamlet's]] central [[Yard|inner yard]]. The arrangement typically places the homes and structures of higher-status or more essential residents within the fortified perimeter, while lesser dwellings and service-related outbuildings are often situated beyond the palisade and defensive ditch.

		+	As bailey hamlets always exist on or near a significantly sized river, it's quite difficult to find a surrounding type-6 hex that doesn't have a road and a river within. Usually, the hamlet prefers the road to the river; but the river will serve if no road is present. The wide caramel line on the right-hand hex is a national border.

	As with communal hamlets, decisions are made by a [[Elder Authority\|council of elders]]. While continuing to act as mentors, however, there's a greater focus upon collecting and transporting produce and value to the outside, in exchange for recognition, status and the desire for eventual expansion. Thus, elders are chosen not only by their age, but their acumen for organisation and knowledge of the world outside the bailey. It's not unusual, then, for an older resident to be denied a place on the council for lack of a necessary charisma and ability.		As with communal hamlets, decisions are made by a [[Elder Authority\|council of elders]].

Thus, elders are chosen not only by their age, but their acumen for organisation and knowledge of the world outside the bailey. It's not unusual, then, for an older resident to be denied a place on the council for lack of a necessary charisma and ability.
		+
		+	While a good council can hold together the factions of farmer and owner-operator, the dichotomy is often a source of friction within the community ... especially if the owners can be seen to accumulate wealth that fails to accord also to the farmer. To ensure each side receives respect, it's rare that a bailey hamlet's council numbers less than seven persons, with three from each side. The lead elder, then, must serve both sides. Thankfully, however, a community can always come together over matters that threat the hamlet from outside.
		+
		+	== Economy ==
		+	[[Socage \|Socage]] is paid jointly by the communal farmers, who are typically underwritten year-by-year by the granary owner. This allows sustenance in lean years, with debts being owed to the granary rather than the realm; this debt is respected through the council of elders and is kept in private accounts.
		+
		+	The various workings, owners and vendors pay excise taxes when goods are delivered outside the hex — but these persons enjoy exemption from direct tax as they are yet too obscure for the realm to pursue directly. This gives the bailey hamlet an ideal opportunity for growth and expansion.
		+
		+	In fact, the individuals of the bailey hamlet don't "own" their land, though tradition within the community separates that which is considered "communal" from that which is held in name by the owner-operators. Because this lack of ownership is treated benevolently by the realm, the matter only comes to a head if the hamlet expands sufficiently to gain a "[[Coin (symbol)\|coin]]," requiring the initiation of a [[Charter\|charter]].
		+
		+	Within the community, a [[Barter Economy\|barter economy]] continues to exist. Agreements allow every individual to receive their "lot" from the local bailey or gristmill, which is a proscribed daily amount of bread or service they receive in exchange for regular services they themselves perform (food delivered yearly to the granary, or duties and labour carried out for the good of the general community). Special requests, such as venturing on a journey from the boat dock, are negotiated personally. Farmers in the locality who are distinct from the hamlet must negotiate for everything. The hamlet doesn't have the necessary coin available to remunerate [[Note Payable\|notes payable]]; these must be fulfilled elsewhere.
