Mapping out The City.

Most impressive, it's great to see the Keeper Map to scale to another. Did that make sense?

Hmmmm.

Odd question - where are the City wharves/fisheries? The city is adjacent to an ocean, after all. Are they in the Wayside Docks section (which seems to be more of an industrial/mercantile complex), or are they elsewhere?

Oh, and as an aside, everyone involved should check out (http://www.exp.citymax.com/page/page/607858.htm) A Magical Medieval City Guide, something I've been meaning to link y'all to for quite some time. Some really interesting ideas that we can utilize here, especially about ward structures, etc - in essence, it's a gaming resource for creating a fantasy analogue for a medieval city, and it's very, very easy to make use of with regards to the City itself.

Just thought the mappers might enjoy a new resource, in case they hadn't already stumbled across it.

Nice work on the map Sxerks. Very clear and looks good too, unlike my maps which have progressed past a rough sketch ...
Sola, I would say there is plenty of Wayside, Dayport and Eastport left that could be used for fishing wharves etc if need be ... on the other hand, and City on this scale might well have given over this space to industrial purposes, overseas trade and so on. Fish could be brought in from small fishing villages up and down the cost.

I'm actually inclined to think it's both - there've got to be wharves that are exclusively fishing related, including a nearby fishmarket, etc.

And given the sheer size of the City, it's support structure of surrounding communities has to stretch far beyond the reach of it's walls - there're probably a multitude of small farming concerns within a day's walk of the City, and a supply footprint laden with smaller villages and their supporting farms, etc. This includes small fishing/mining/logging villages as well... all to provide the City with it's needs.
