Msallen:

<pre>
[9:19 PM] slitherrr: thoughts in no particular order (from the perspective of the Boys who still have no idea what a half-dragon is):
a) it would be weird for the orcs to kill their literal god
b) it would also be weird for orcs to be working with lizardfolk
c) it would also be weird for orcs working with lizardfolk to kill the golden goose that lizardfolk and orcs have been sustaining for centuries
d) it can obviously be subgroups of one or the other who have cross-purposes with other groups. complicating this is that the orcs we ran into, at least, seem to think all the orcs of the swamp are of one mind. we don't have any indication one way or the other for lizardfolk except that one plate armored thing we ran into
e) a lizardfolk in a swamp wearing plate armor would be weird. everything we've heard about them and seen w.r.t. the armor would indicate that it wasn't made by them and that they have no particular culture around using plate armor in general, and it would make zero sense for a swamp-dwelling hunter-gatherer to prioritize walking around in a set of swim-encumbering stuff that rusts. so i think bobwhite could piece together that, if that thing is a lizardfolk, maybe it's a lizardfolk from somewhere else
f) everything being "one clean slice" doesn't really make it look like it was a team effort. one "something" probably did the bulk of the work.
g) so we're at (i) something other than orcs or lizardfolk killed the hydra and drained it, while one or the other groups tried (and failed) to resist. this seems unlikely because it doesn't seem like whatever it is would take the trouble of cleaning up all but one orc corpse and honestly whatever it is can afford to give zero fucks. clearly. (ii) one, the other, or both together of some subset of orcs and/or lizardfolk assisted whatever it was that did the job
[9:20 PM] slitherrr: if it's (ii), then the thing has some compelling narrative that sacrificing their literal god would make sense for some reason, so it's either dominating mind-fuckery like we've seen with demons (oh boy), or it's tapped into the same religious fervor with some other zeal-inducing attribute we don't have a handle on
[9:23 PM] slitherrr: the orcs we did see were all way into their jobs. not to the point where they were all willing to just throw their lives away for it, though. like it took getting them down to 10% capacity but they did eventually try to run
[9:25 PM] slitherrr: h) the orcs we ran into were kill-on-sight for a tiny group of halflings with no obvious treasure, so they are clearly aggressively defending their territory and probably not someone we can go up and talk to without some crazy leverage that we absolutely don't have at the moment, unless us taking out one of their scrub patrols is enough to get them to listen (but if we're working with the assumption that whatever killed the hydra is working with them, then it almost certainly is not). so the chances of going and finding some orcs to parley with seem slim to none
[9:26 PM] slitherrr: i) since the wydmoorians do trade with lizardfolk and don't trade with orcs, it might be safe to assume that if the orcs are working with lizardfolk, then it's a different group that isn't the ones who trade with wydmoor. so if we're interested in what a bunch of coldbloods have to say, we do have some reason to believe that we might be able to get them to talk rather than just try to roast us on spits
[9:27 PM] slitherrr: j) wandering the swamp aimlessly seems like a bad idea, especially in orc territory. so we either go somewhere else with a purpose or we fuck back off to town
[9:29 PM] slitherrr: k) plenty of people in town probably want to hear about some or all of this. whether we would care to pursue it further depends entirely on whether it gets us closer to that lance part, though
[9:29 PM] slitherrr: like it seems unlikely that we'll want to truck all the way back for a piddling payday and ???information of uncertain value??? just to be almost back at square one w.r.t. the lance
[9:30 PM] slitherrr: so my vote is as long as we're out here, we go try and find some lizards and get them to speak ubrekti somehow
[9:30 PM] slitherrr: and it's only a tiny bit influenced by a meta desire to talk to russ again
[9:31 PM] slitherrr: if anyone's going to have more context for this shit, it's going to be the people literally in control of the dragon turtles
[9:31 PM] slitherrr: oh yeah speaking of
[9:31 PM] slitherrr: l) a dead dragon turtle is another pretty good sign that lizardfolk and orcs aren't generally on speaking terms
[9:56 PM] slitherrr: and m) the fact that that area down there is still chilly is interesting but maybe not something we can turn into anything else, at least with the resources we have
[9:57 PM] slitherrr: i'm sure bobwhite's +8 arcana, if pressed, could come up with some magical bullshit reasons why it's either materially interesting to us, or materially uninteresting to us
[9:57 PM] slitherrr: but from a meta-perspective abs seemed to be indicating that it isn't
[10:00 PM] slitherrr: there's theoretically more temple to swim around in but the one reason we came here, we've found, so we have a history of fucking off when that happens and leaving the rest of the dungeon to its own devices
</pre>

It's like we're playing an MMO, we need 20 crispy basilisk urethra to complete that other quest though --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]] ([[User talk:Msallen|talk]])
*An orc head and a "lizardfolk" head
*Two drained cryohydra heads

Yarnad Heatherstand

2021-04-25T18:45:25Z

Msallen:

Yarnad is the second oldest girl of [[Sparrow Rindherder | Ma Sparrow]], and for all the little siblings she helped raise probably one of the most responsible. She's a good girl, clever and hard working, and the least criminally inclined of the clan. Everyone says she favors her dad [[Dord Heatherstand]], Sparrow's first husband, who wasn't half as much trouble as his onerey wife. She was good with the dogs and ran with outriders for a while, and probably the only person better than her is that wild half-brother of hers [[Beldon]]. She eventually joined the city guard in *LOCATION* and tries to keep her no account family at arm's length. But they know she'll turn a blind eye if she catches them up to no good, so they pass through more than she'd like.

Green is Pasture and Yellow is Agriculture? [[User:Detarame|Detarame]] ([[User talk:Detarame|talk]]) 00:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
:At this point it could be whatever we want. In my head it was yellow = aggriculture/pasture, dark green = heavy trees, light green = grass and light trees, grey = paved. I was going to start converting some of the spaces in between blocks to light green + some dark green. --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]] ([[User talk:Msallen|talk]])

Holy shit, this thing has come along! [[User:Detarame|Detarame]] ([[User talk:Detarame|talk]]) 02:18, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

In response to the conversation below, I think the numbers are still to big. If the Wyd walls enclose a square mile, were still looking at 33k nyc densities. I do think pivoting to think about 2 story limits is smart, I was definitely thinking tenement style NYC layouts and that's just too urban. That gives me the excuse to cut down the building density (and thus the tedium) as much as we want to get the numbers we need. I'll probably add in some more open space between houses and embedded in blocks, as well as make the buildings bigger. If I cut by 40% that would bring us down to a 20k/sq mile density, is that still too high for the city proper? --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]] ([[User talk:Msallen|talk]])
:: Don't get me wrong, some cities could reach very close to modern levels of urban density in a one square mile area, but only under pretty exceptional circumstances. [[User:Detarame|Detarame]] ([[User talk:Detarame|talk]]) 01:35, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Some notes on estimation between Jones and me:

I've flushed out a few blocks in each socioeconomic group, which are color coded on the map but are broadly red = poor, blue = middle, and purple = rich. Generally would assume poor are more densely packed but buildings per acre and people per building, so population density would be far more sparse in the rich areas.

My gut writing this is I'm probably too dense with the current layout, but here is a thought exercise around this:

I'm going to try to estimate what the population of this city would be based on extrapolating the people/building and building/block ratios. Let's say poor buildings hold 6 families of 8 (extended and multi-generation) so 50 people per building. There's probably 25 buildings per block and maybe 70 blocks of this (very fuzzy counting). That's 87,500 poor. I've got a table here to cover all the groups.

{|
!Social group!!People per Buildings!!Buildings per Block!!Blocks!!Total
|-
|Poor||50||25||70||87500
|-
|Middle class||25||12||40||12000
|-
|Wealthy||15||7||20||2100
|-
|Total||||||||101600
|}

Here are the two assumptions I have the lowest confidence in. First is that the people/building goes down so drastically, especially since the buildings are bigger. Second is that the poor people/buildings are so low, I wonder if those numbers should be higher.

I guess after writing this I decided that maybe the density isn't wrong, but you've thought about this a whole lot more. Check my work before I spent 10s of hours drawing all these tiny little buildings!

to me

I kind of love using this crazy voodoo math to figure all this out. I don't mind the city being a bit larger than in the olden times, but i'd think something like 30k or so would be the target. Megacities still need to be rare or nonexistant in the setting, I think, just for theme. I think you are correct in terms of family size and density by class, at least enough for a make believe census.

The same magic that explains larger populations (better health outcomes) also leads to better family planning (hedge magic contraception, less infant mortality). If that's the case, we can start by taking all of the average family sizes down by 30-50% and see where that leaves us. Maybe, like a -40% / -50% / -60% poor/middle/rich adjustment? Just that macro adjustment gets us to 50,000 + 6,000 + 1000 = 57,000. Still too large, as you will see, but closer.

Another thing to consider: in residential areas, buildings are basically never going to be above two stories which allows us to revise the density downward somewhat. "6 families of 8 (extended and multi-generation) so 50 people per building." Is a hell of a lot for a two floor, 20x30 structure. 3 Families of 4-6 doesn't per building doesn't seem unreasonable. That's 12-28 folks per structure, which also gets us down to a much saner number. I think the number of people per building for both poor and middle is way off, though probably rich is about right (because they have servants and shit). I've already given some solid reasons to revise the poor numbers downward. As for the center, consider a lot of middle class people are going to be the artisans an merchants who live at their place of work, so there will be a LOT of middle class residences that are like 5-7 people.

I mean: The population density for NYC in general is 27,000 per square mile. The population density for Manhattan is 67,000 per square mile. Wydmoor is between .75 and 1.1 square miles. There is no chance that Wydmoor has twice the population density of New York, much less Manhattan, even with magic. There are only two cities on earth right now that have 100,000 people per square mile, and the #3 most dense city on earth would be well behind wydmoor with only 75k/sq mi.
