'thul's story project...

['thul]

'thul have now begun to decide upon a full naming pattern of Settled cities.

Smallest cities will be the deeps, typically anything from freshly built to a few centuries, a thousand years at most.
The next size will be the Holds, of which there in the defined map are four. These can range in age from one to five thousand years or so.
The final size, of which there is only one on the known map, has no title beyond its name, Travial. It is over seven thousand years old.

Of course, city size is not merely judged by age, but also by physical size and by its population. However, expanding a city, especially its surface section, takes decades for even small expansions, centuries for larger ones.

The first chapter of the section about the Emblan Deeps has been written, only took a couple of rewrites. nine pages long. Another 24 pages of half-written stuff has been made, but that requires rewriting, both to make better sense and to be consistent.
