Random Clan Terrain Generator

In 2015 I wrote a blog entry to randomly generate an Imperial Chinese Prefecture for TTRPGs set in Imperial China. I was quite satisfied with my article (itself based on a post on Éric Nieudan's now-defunct web-site), but it has only very recently occurred to me that I could easily adapt it to Sartar to make a Random Clan Terrain Generator!

What you need:
 - A standard 52-card deck with French suits (♠♥♣♦); remove the jokers and the 2's.
 - Dice.

1. Draw cards to make a 7×7 grid; leave centre of grid empty. The rectangle represents the tula, and the dark grey centre is the main settlement, the clan's capital:

2. Terrain the remaining 48 areas according to card suit; face cards mean there is a steading. See tables below:

Terrain
♦ plains
♣ woods or swamp
♥ hills
♠ mountains

Steadings
Jack: hamlet or stead
Queen: temple, shrine, other holy place
King: manor or mansion
Ace: small town or village

Choose or draw another card for sub-types, e.g.:

Second Card Drawn	Settlement Sub-Type	Temple Sub-Type	Manor Sub-Type
♦	Sartarite	Orlanthi	Retired Rune Lord/Priest
♣	Sartarite	Ernaldan	Guildhouse
♥	Sartarite	other Sartarite	Local Thane
♠	non-Sartarite (e.g., Sun Domers, Lunar colonists)	pre-Sartarite	Wealthy Landowner

Third Card Drawn	other Sartarite Sub-Type	pre-Sartarite Sub-Type
♦	Humakt	True/Dream Dragon
♣	Issaries	Major Spirit
♥	Lhankor Mhy	Mysterious otherworldly being
♠	other	other

3. Encounters and events. Now, whenever the player characters are travelling throughout the clan territory, random encounters may happen! For each card, roll d20 and compare to card value (Jack = 11, Queen = 12,  King = 13, Ace = 14). If the die roll is = card value, look at the encounter on the table below.

Variant: Use a d10 in the light grey area.

Die	Civilised Encounters Die roll < card value	Events Die roll = card value
1	Farmers ♦travelling ♣foraging ♥poaching ♠fleeing
2	Fishermen ♦working ♣mending nets ♥famished ♠building a dam
3	Merchants ♦caravan ♣lost ♥being robbed ♠loaded with silver	Ambush or trap
4	Initiates ♦preaching ♣looking for help ♥begging ♠on a pilgrimage	Impromptu market
5	Warriors ♦professional ♣rural militia ♥urban militia ♠press-gang	Freak weather
6	Orlanthi from Another Clan ♦mercenaries ♣traders ♥transients ♠pilgrims	Blocked roads
7	Orlanthi from Another Tribe ♦warband ♣migrating ♥raiding ♠hiding	Fire
8	Non-human ♦Tusk Riders ♣Elves ♥Beast Men ♠Trolls	Flood

12	Thieves ♦street thugs ♣running from the law ♥spies ♠burglars	Bandit Lair
13	Sun Domers ♦merchants ♣ambassadors ♥prisoners ♠pilgrims	Siege
14		Plague
