It could be done by a single person.Are all their means to produce food forbidden? I'm not sure what you're referring to.The things that are illegal to those not serving the shadow are mainly weapons, knowledge, magic, and travel (though you can get a permit for that). They're not forbidden to raise livestock or cultivate fields. It is transported by those ordered to bring food to the cities. Slaves probably.In the villages, they will store it at home, and in the cities, there are bound to be foodstores.Remember that not all humans live in slavery. In fact, almost all legates are humans, there are the traitor princes and all the collaborators. They want food, too. And they get it. They won't go to bed hungry, that's for sure.The humans of eredane aren't forbidden to produce weapons. In fact, many blacksmithes are forced to produce weapons.They're only forbidden to own weapons. The weapons the human blacksmiths create go to the shadow.It's similar with food. You won't see legates on the fields or herding sheep. The occupied humans do produce wares and food. It's just that they're very heavily taxed and may not keep much. If you hold anything back and are found out, the punishment will be very harsh - I think they had a short story sidebar about that very topic.</blockquote>
