The Ninth Kingdom of Enombath (Scale Comparison) (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone,
My work conference is almost over. Today I thought I might show you a little scale comparison for you to get an idea of just how big the Ninth Kingdom is.
Each hex represents 100 miles.
For population, the Ninth Kingdom has roughly 13 million humanoids. I extrapolated Europe's population during the low middle ages and compared it to its modern day population.
This would put its population somewhere along the lines of where the United States was in the 1830s (just before the Mexican War). That's roughly 3.42 people per square mile. That's a little bit more than modern day Australia which has about 3 people per square mile. So it's a good balance between large metro areas and untamed wilderness.
I'm guessing that the coasts will probably have the majority of the population centers. Already, we can see Hehill there. Being that it's the only city with a labe on the entire map, my guess would be that it's a massive metropolitan area.
I'll probably follow this up with a survey on where we should focus on next and probably do it by "state"; ie, you vote on the US state that correlates to this map and then we focus on a an individual hex (that would make the starting map roughly the same scale as Phandelver's sword coast map).
