[DF] How big are the settlements built by the PC races?

[ericthered]

You can make any PC race have cities of any size, but there are certain expectations...

I wouldn't expect any Half-Spirits to have their own kingdom... but If they do, it says something big about the setting. Which is just fine, just be ready to handle the implications of a city of fire-infused living on the slopes of a volcano.

Corpse-Eaters are going to have a hard time building a giant city by themselves. I could maybe see them building something and trying to attract immigrants, but its going to be a stretch.

I don't think wildmen are going to build cities. arguably, they won't build anything. I can't see them getting organizations much bigger than 20,000 or so, and that's going to be several groups working together.

I don't usually imagine full cities of Trolls, Gargoyles, or Ogres.

I do usually imagine full cities of Coleopterans, Dark ones, Dragon-blooded, Gnomes, and maybe minotaur.

I imagine High, Sea, and Shadow elves living in vast cities, and wood, mountain, and flying elves living in merely moderately sized ones. I don't imagine half-elves building the cities, but living in those of others.
