I'm an avid world-builder, but zooming in to the city level for #Septopolis should be interesting.
I'll try to engage with others, but expect to mostly use this as a build exercise for myself.
For our first post, we're going slow and spreading the good knowledge of the month around, as well as trying something in an attempt to make the month more manageable for myself.
If you have no idea what Septy is, please check my pinned post to avoid jumping ahead! 📌

While overshadowed by Port Stout, Safe Harbor would likely disappear completely in the shadow of @khonri.com's Galas Castoll with its vast size and greater commerce, infrastructure, and tourism.
Though they'd be fascinated to learn about the beluan.
But they could find common ground as cities with reduced populations, nostalgic for past glory.
#Septopolis
Today is the silly exercise and community engagement question!
If you've been playing solo, feel free to skip today. Otherwise, I am specifically asking you to limit yourself to two other Septy participants (especially because automod is banning/spam labeling people).

The top two, non-main characters, to look out for would be Lady Bellamy herself (Lvl 10 Paladin), and Knight Captain Gregario Gallant (Lvl 10 Cavalier).

Alternatively, moral arbitration is provided by the Celestial Temple. That rarely escalates.

But most try to self-police as locally as possible.
#Septopolis
ACAB and all but perhaps your world actually has a functioning civil servant system. Maybe it's self policing with its community. In any case, how is order upheld and what constitutes "order?"
If it fits here... your #Juniplex system may be worth tagging in!

I'm now thinking the first Lady Bellamy was, like the queen, sainted, so their scallops might be Coquilles Saint Bellamy.
#Septopolis
There is also an advisory council composed of elected representatives from each district. Though all decisions are ultimately Lady Bellamy's.
The government's goal is to unobtrusively keep things running smoothly enough for its workings to go unnoticed.
#Septopolis
Feel free to get as detailed as you want here! Rulers and houses and senates and all that. The voting system (or lack thereof)! Name some leaders!
The second question once again draws parallel to the real world as we've all been forced to care in one way or another.

In fact, the government pays them for their services (healing, education, etc.). While the Temple takes donations for services, they are not allowed to charge for them.
#Septopolis
It's easier for citizens to be heard by the government, but it's not something that comes up for most people.
#Septopolis
Today's question is on the card and a new one for 2026.
I'd like to save the post space to emphasize that these questions are for fictional worlds for any stray visitors. Fictional as they may be, this can be a touchy subject with real world impacts.
Be cool. Be chill.

Carved deep inside the marble cliff, the hall combines elements of dwarven underground cities with Central aesthetics and nautical influences. It hosts plays, concerts, and more.
#Septopolis
Since Song Maester Sforzando Alighieri took up residence in the Temple, musical performance has surged in popularity.
#Septopolis
Let's talk some places to house and display culture. This can also include opera houses, music halls, and festival grounds too! What do they look like? Where are they in the place (rich/poor area)?
And what's the most important thing they're showing off, and why is it?

She prefers big scores, so she'd go after the bigger companies, like Queen's Company over more local ones like Marble & Vine Co.
Which Queen's Company has since acquired.
Major trading companies retain control of docks and shipping, though individual fishing is more prominent now, but function like part of the community with no one having outstanding influence.
#Septopolis
Today, I'm more asking for something specific. Your Arasakas and your ACMEs. Maybe your world's "Big Four" accounting firms have taken over.
What is their role in this place? Do they drain endlessly or do they recognize their workforce and try to keep them happy?

Based on the balance between land and water, the game might focus more on control of the board, as opposed to the elimination of a specific piece.
The white cliffs around Safe Harbor are the reason white represents land.
#Septopolis
But a local passion for hand-ball games could set up for fun in Book 3. I could see the Temple reinforcing their walls rather than discourage wall-ball as the church did in our Europe.
#Septopolis
Now let's pivot towards some fun things that keep economies chugging. Sports and pastimes are a good way to keep money flowing, and sometimes that comes from high-level, popular people making it a cultural fixture (see... football and handegg).
So what's big here?

30% Humans
25% Dwarves
25% Islanders (Half-Elves)
10% Sandwalkers and mixed (Orcs and half orcs)
5% Gnomes
5% Other (including Elves and Deep Folk/Halflings)
Of the races of the Known World, only giantkin have no significant presence. The population skews older than more modern cities.
#Septopolis
Today's question can easily sprawl on for a while depending on the diversity and size of your place and how deeply you want to go.
If you're not sure how to keep it snappy, aim for what's important to your story.

I love building around/in super-structure ruins buried by the desert. Very immediate and unique vibes.
I'm glad I'm catching up now that #Septopolis is over. Zagnat sounds awesome.

I just want to give massive thanks and love to @khonri.com for another amazing Septopolis. Her prompt games push me to be a better world builder and I encourage you all to play along next time.
It's that day! Do as you will. I'll jingle the jar below but know that it is not out of any need.
If anything, today, I encourage you to go find a locally owned establishment in your city and buy something. Maybe learn a fact about your local history!

I can't believe September is almost over!
This has been such fun and my city has gone from a mere hypothetical concept to a pretty well fleshed out place!
Thank you for the awesome and thought provoking questions! 🧵
