Nice short article, I especially liked the use of slang in the quotation ! I have a few questions : When you mention a population of 73, do you mean there are 73 persons living in the village? Because the map does make it feel like there should be more : there's at least three times that number of houses, and a house surely hosts more than 1 person, doesn't it ? And by the way, is there a reason other than esthetic for the way the map is split ? I'm just curious, it looks nice though.
Thanks! The number of houses are partially storehouses, inns, and other such structures, and some are reserved for the many merchants traveling through the village. Thanks for your feedback, it's my first challenge entry. ~LotusIce
