>>OK! This debate keeps cropping up periodically but the population of
the >>entire valley is about 15,000.

I seem to have foolishly volunteered myself to do a proper map of
Metamor
Keep, Metamor Town, and Euper.

>>>THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

>>>WOW!!! Very cool.



Assuming that the keep shown in the map at
http://metamorkeep.com/gallery/pics/castle_map.jpg is accurate, it looks
to
be something on the order of 800' long and 100' wide (VERY ROUGH
ESTIMATE).


>>>Comments anyone?



How big is Metamor Town?  A hundred?  Five hundred?  Thousands?!  I
would go
for the lower end personally, but it may have been decided somewhere.
The
hard limit would be the fact that, as far as I can tell, Metamor Keep
and
Metamor Town are built on a plateau on a ridge which gives a max size
limit.
Not to mention the fact that most building materials have to be hauled
up to
the top of the ridge.


>>>There is only so much room on the plateau so I would go with a few
hundred to a thousand at the max.


>>And remember that the Keep itself being magical has no real population
>>size limit.


How bit is Euper?  A hundred?  Five Hundred?  Thousands?

In my mind I would put Metamor Keep as a few hundred -- it's most of the
plateau as it is the primary reason for the whole conglomaration to
exist.
Metamor Town is simply the rest of the plateau walled in.  Say 500, max.
For Euper, I'm told it's smaller than Metamor Town, so maybe a few
hundred.


>>>Sounds about right to me.
