If I don't have rents for the area, I figure them at 50-60% of the total household income(s) in crowded areas (like anything inside a city wall) down to 40% for rural areas. For productive ground such as crop land, harvestable forest, or meadow (grazing) I usually set the rents at 50% of the total annual yield. During times of distress prices can fluxuate some, but historically most invaders leave land claims intact (they'd rather tax than own) so land can be a reliable piece of wealth that can survive many catastrophes. Long lived non human races such as dwarves will likely appreciate a longer return on their money, and for such areas I raise the rent multiplier to fifteen or sixteen, twenty in the most extreme cases.</blockquote>
