[QUOTE="Reaper Steve, post: 5348201, member: 51528"] The settlement writeup (p.57) for Hammerfast in the DM kit lists it as a [B]city[/B] of 12,000. However the entry on p.57 duplicates the one from the DMG, stating that Hammerfast is the largest and wealthiest [B]town[/B] in the region. I also have the Hammerfast Outpost Adventure Site book... there is no way that Hammerfast can have a population of 12,000. It even looks smaller than Fallcrest (pop. 1350 + 900 nearby.) Hammerfast's population could reasonably be 1,200, but not 12,000. However, then it wouldn't be the "largest and wealthiest" in the region. Oddly, that book doesn't give a settlement stat block or any real indication of Hammerfast's population. The best thing I found to judge it on is the map, which has less buildings than Fallcrest. Nothing to lose sleep over... hopefully the Gazetter of the Nentir Vale will sort it out before I commit to how big it is in my adventures. [/QUOTE]
