Arco has priestess healers, so they don't have to keep hiring new fetish holders.
It's got nothing at all to do with dominion though, and Arco does not have FN mages anyway, so it's all kind of moot unless you're doing some weird nature-forge-lord thing.
I tried out a FWEN Forge Lord once and it's actually a doable strategy, pumping out cheap fetishes and clams. 2F2N for a fetish, 7W2N for a clam. Not a whole lot of fun though.
Under CBM 50 pts for a forge lord. Plus 4F4W is reasonable bless for WindLords.
Regarding Arco and fetishes.. Once upon a time I did a test for 10 or 20 turns comparing recuperation in dominion and out of dominion - and as I recall I got 30% more recuperation in dominion.
Now, it could have been statistical variance. I didn't adjust for difficulty of affliction, I didn't only look at disease... - but ever since that I've always just jumped in and out of dominion when I want to recuperate.
Well, might as well go 4F4W4E4N bless if you're doing a Forge Lord.
But you're putting the fetishes on your Oreiads!? That's the only EA Arco unit with recuperation. Why don't you put the fetishes on scouts and have a priestess heal the half that are not carrying? It seems like a terrible idea to me to disease an expensive Oreiad and risk a feeblemind that's going to take a while to recover.
Also I do not think there is any link between recuperation and current province dominion.
