That's pretty much how I saw it, but we'd want to have something pretty
cosmopolitan, without being a random melange of stuff.

Also I suppose we'd need some way of governing the levels of characters
within the city - no more than one 10th level plus character per
contributor or something.

I'd like it to be a somewhat far-out place, so we have a little
latitude for invention. I've got a nifty idea for a society of rats
living within the city (included a blooded caliph) that could be kind of
fun - adventures where the players get shrunk down to the size of rats &
adventure with swashbuckling pirate rats on their sewer barges & stuff.

This is an awesome idea... I would like to create a hedge wizard...
I believe that they are merchants of magical wares...
Someone lemme know if I am wrong...

Did we ever decide what city to use? I heard Mieres as a possible
location, here's mine: how about Blackgate, capitol of Danigau? It's high
ranking enough to be a good sized city (level 5 province), Brechtur is
fairly cosmopoliton anyway, and it is near several other cultures: dwarves,
Rjurik, and goblins. This could be the perfect spot.
