[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6520606, member: 59082"] I'm starting a new D&D 5E campaign in a little over a week and I'm trying to hammer down some details of the setting. Specifically, unless the PCs take off in a completely unexpected direction, the "first tier" is mainly going to be set in a small region that is about 300 square miles, or about 25 x 12 miles. I realized that I've never detailed a region this small and am looking for pointers, examples, maps, etc. The gist of it is that it is one of several inhabited Havens within a larger frontier region. There are two towns, populations of around 900 and 700, and several small villages and farms, with a total population (mainly human) of around 7-8,000. Any examples of such regions out there? I suppose the Dales in the Forgotten Realms are the closest thing. Anything else? Any recommended resources? I've got tons of world building books, but am looking for something more specific to this sort of scale - or at least an example or two. Specifically I'm looking for ideas and examples of how to flesh out a small region in great detail. Anything from little locations to encounter ideas, etc. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
