[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 2439798, member: 3649"] What's the population? Stables and a place to buy horses. Grain storage. Guild houses; each trade guild probably has their own meeting house, plus there might be a large building where many guilds can gather and do business. Farmer's exchage, near the market places. Some sort of apothecary or leech. Brothels, at least three or four and those are the ones not run out of various houses. Thieve's Guildhouse. Inns! Taverns are usually places to just drink and maybe eat. Inns will have rooms and meals. A jail. As was said above, more than 2 taverns. A large trading city probably has at least 20-25 waterholes of various sizes and clientele - a metropolis probably has over 100. Military and guardsmen don't drink where the corn merchants drink who don't drink where the wool and cloth merchants drink who don't drink where the common laborers drink, etc. Taverns, like inns and brothels and some other types of service organizations predominately serve a certain income range, a city area, a trade or, especially in D&D, a race. There would be an elf bar, a dwarf bar (gold, gold, gold, gold!), orc bar, etc. Similarly, there will also be more than one market; usually at least two and sometimes more depending on how large the city is. There will probably be an animal market where you can buy sheep, goats, etc, and (maybe) a slaughterhouse near that -- both are usually outside the city walls because of the astonishing pollution they produce.
