Hey thats right Hendel was from there.  Many people don't know about him but a lot of Dwarves knew of him.  Also Turgeiis village in the Icy mountains has a decent amount of Information on it knowing me and WP detailed it, I got a map around here somewhere.

[Dalan]

Thanks a bunch Kluu.  I need to know though, does anyone have more info on these places?

[DarkRayden]

I dont quite understand - who is to provide the info on all this cities / NPCs stuff?
I mean, can a player just come up with a write up and involve it into the IC setting, or is it something somebody (like former DMs ) once wrote and it is up to us to recover this information?

[DMGralbor]

We're looking for confirmed written materials as well as confirmed character observations.  This is so we can provide an accurate setting for each event that might happen in that city.

I have a lot of info on Nimbortan. If you go to Hesp you can walk through everything Myth detailed out.

[Nyrhtlyk the Dark]

Don't look at me, I sent you everything I knew about Rattletown Branch already Dalan. :)

For now they want already defiend things, but as a matter of future work, a PC can flesh out a city, or town and especially a village. Most of the named places are not cities but only places large enough or known wenoughto make it on a map some are only trading villages as I jsut noted.

a PC can pick one and ask around for what info there is on it and then do a wirte up if they like. It will need to be checked and then voted on by the TC but many places are PC developed. In fact the whole of Navelorn I worte as a PC and it was placed on the map after the fact because DMs started using it. WhenI wrote it the map of thardferr had not been complete and I put it off the known world on theother side of the Deep Woods (btw which I also named, at the time they were jsut a large forest on the edge of the map with nothing written about them).

so I encourage pc to write up a place, asking about it for what info you can get first but the TC and DMs willlikley use most of what yo give us if it fits the thardferr setting.

[Dalan]

Heh, thanks Nyr, I got that.

yeah, I echo Gralbor's comments.

After answering a few questions about cities and what not, historically speaking, I figured I'd post this source.  Most of what I have read/know from my field roughly corresponds to this guy's figures, so for purposes, it is probably a good source.  It essentially helps you formulate the size and scale of a medieval kingdom, town, city, etc. as well as what you'd find in it -- good source for those fleshing out places:

It is.  I got that link about a month ago.

[Dalan]

whoops I got that link a month ago and have been using it a lot.

I am going through Kryp's old Sorrowtown writeup and organizing it to conform to the "standard" city format.  

Who is the Thayne of Sorrowtown?

[Lalina]

Any more information on Windtown will be appreciated, though I believe I have most of it.   Whenever I find a little time here and there I am working on it.  Hopefully I'll be able to complete it sometime soon.
