There will be people out there, not the 100,000 people first pushed but there will have to be several thousand people who live in the countryside, they would be spread out on farms and ranches not bulked together in villages. Examples of Estates:Sheep Ranch; one manor house and several thousand acres of grazing land, several barns and a bunkhouse for workers and/or workers families. Would also have large house/palace/manor in posh district.Silk Fish harvester; several holding pools on a section of the lake shore (the richer ones would be on the shore of the big island), several sheds and barns and workhouses for watersilk collection/production/drying/rough weaving into thread, workers barracks (if pools are far from the city or they use slaves), Manor house in Posh district, may have second manor house if there pools are a day or more away from the city.Clay pit owner; clay pit and land around it, workers barracks, storehouses and tool houses, barns for horses and wagons used to haul clay to city, wharehouse or shop in city, manor house in posh district, may have second manor house on land near clay pit depending on distance to town.When writing up a noble house we probably need to put down the information on what they own and where. Many would have to own land outside of town (can't raise sheep in the city), how much and how many barns or workers or whatever would be a sign of their wealth and power. There are also several small farmers and herders outside the walls, there just is no bunched up village of people.Cor Mahael probably insisted on a title to keep people off his island but that was probably the end of it, I got the impression that he was a recluse, I doubt he would of actually sat on the council longer than it would of taken to insure people would stay off his island.</blockquote>
