H u h.

Last I checked we were still using horse caravans and shit. But the only real civilization is the larger cities or I guess kingdoms depending on what race is in charge of the place.

Yeah. I can't imagine the cities you have are as large as the ones from my world. The one I grew up in has a population of several million. In fairness it's the capital city of my state, but still.

Mm, actually, there were a few that were close to that number.

Goldcliff immediately springs to mind, for example. But that may be the one real example of close to that number.

I feel like I should stress that the world population in mine was something close to seven billion.

[My country is large, but nowhere near that densely populated as some places.

Darling, we don't know the population of mine because the majority of people don't tend to stay put for very long.

Or gather in places all that often due to monsters and the like being attracted towards what they view as an easy snack. Goldcliff is literally on a cliff so it's not... an easy thing to come near.

Then there's civilizations that seem to prefer to stay underground, such as the drow out of necessity or the dwarves because they're most comfortable in those situations.
