Perhaps that's how many people the place was optimistically designed
to hold. We've already hypothesized gnarly trade goods that could be
mined out of the plateau, meerschaum, magic crystals, sea metal,
etc. Since the place is associated with Helamakt there could be some
properties in the soil that makes for special wool so sheep herding
could be big. But still a place for miners and shepherds that holds
5,000? Imagine the smell. And people would be deafened by the
insessant bleating:-) So the beautiful buildings Sesarto made
are/were being used to house sheep and for miner bars. I suspect
Sesarto is spinning in his grave:-)
