What is the value of a mehrial and how common is it? What is the average pay for a faceless worker on a normal business day? IE a blacksmith, Fugly, GS worker, etc. I mean, I'm wondering about NPCs, which really probably isn't overly relevant, but I'm just wondering about this, for potential future reference. Does an NPC layman average 1 copper a day, 5 coppers a day, 1 mhl, 10 mhls, etc?
Is Nanthalion notably powerful and versatile in its population? It's got a large number of warlords, pyromancers, heirophants, etc. And some of them are powerful enough to usually win against an army of low level characters. Is that average for most cities, or is Nanthalion unique?
In order to sustain its population, Nanthalion has to have a large number of farmers and ranchers, or else import food. So, taking into account these npcs, and the player base, what is a good (rough) population number for Nanthalion? Is it a small town, large city, metropolis, etc?
I'm just trying to get rough ideas for all of this, but it's something that I've been wondering about, so I thought I'd toss this up here and get everyone else's ideas on this... more as a collection of thoughts than anything exact.
