The City of Bygrove

As you probably saw, we just narrowed down the Blackleaf Forest to Wicked Maple Grove. That gave us a number of interesting locations for our campaign. 

While I'm still collecting ideas for the area, I thought I might flesh out one of the major settlements a bit more.

Bygrove is the largest settlement in the Wicked Maple Grove region. I'd guess that it probably makes up for 65% of the population of the region, thus giving it a population of 22,230 humanoids (the entire continent has 3.42 humanoids per square mile, and the Wicked Maple Grove region is roughly 10,000 square miles.

I haven't decided on a government, yet (I'll do a poll for that once we know the demographics), but I thought I'd let the random settlement charts on page 112 of the DMG decide a few features.

I've identified five major locations in the city. More are sure to come. 

Based on what you know of Blackleaf Forest, Wicked Maple Grove, and now these little details, what else would you say is happening in Bygrove?

Well this illegitimate ruler obviously has some ties to some less favorable company to earn a simmering civil war. It's probably not the thieves guild, every city has one of those and they aren't always tied up in politics. Perhaps this ruler is taking sides with a less popular religion, possible a shunned god or goddess who has less favorable followers. The people do not believe they are a fit ruler because they live up to the stereotype of "cult fanatic" but he has many people under his thumb and has a strong influence. If that's so, maybe this theives guild is more important than initially thought.

Haha! It'll grow quickly. Especially once some formal books start coming out for it.

I'm still grieving for Omerian Echo but Wandrossa is starting to grow on me 😂
