Best and worst places to live.

[carlon89]

Where do you reckon the best and worst places to live are in the old and new world? For me there's a few which seem crappy like Tobaro being so close to Skavenblight, Dietershafen being opposite Ice Drake Fjord but I think Volksgrad is the worst being the first city chaos will come across. For the best there's a few as well but safest seems to me like it would be Altdorf, Lothern or maybe Athel Loren.

Vampire Counts, at least under Vlad you could live pretty happily with occasional suck in between. Being protected under the legions of undead.

Worst would be a bretonnian peasant, inbred , un-iterate moron, you only life to die in names of knighthood and no one cares about you.

Worst is almost certainly as a slave to the Chaos Dwarfs. At least the Dark Elves will kill you eventually; the Hat Lords want you alive as long as possible because to them, you're a valuable piece of machinery.

Best (if human), has to be somewhere in Estalia or Tilea. Skavenblight being nearby sucks but they can't be THAT bad if they haven't wiped out the humans after thousands of years of being neighbors. And the Skaven will be a problem no matter where you live, except for Ulthuan.

That has me wondering...are they any human "districts" in Elf cities? If the Elves trade with humans and maintain friendly relations with the Empire, are there places in their coastal cities where humans are allowed to live?

Bretonnia is probably nice if you live in a well-fortified castle or city and is a noble. Anywhere in Bretonnia is bad if you are a peasant as they are all pretty much poor serfs that are exploited by the nobles. Taxes are typically about 9/10 of what you manage to grow, plus compulsory labour service if the nobles say they need you and military service if they need some arrow fodder at the battlefield. Not to mention Norscan raids, orcs, beastmen and outlaws, monsters, diseases, famine etc. etc.

The Empire is probably ok if you live inside a major town or city, safe from beastmen raids and greenskins. Of course, there will be crime, plagues and so on, but at least if you are a rich merchant or noble you will likely be okay. Same goes for Tilea and maybe even Kislev (in lore it's been more than 200 years since Chaos last razed a major city there, not considering the endtime stuff).

Anywhere on the countryside is bad, but some places like near orc-infested mountains, the Drakwald, the Forest of Shadows and Sylvania obviously even worse.

Being a human to the far north means you will pretty much be a slave to Chaos, whether you like it or not. And quite likely be or at some point become a mutant.

Being a human in lands ruled by the Dark elves, the Skaven or the Undead probably means that you are a slave or thrall to some sadistic, monstrous and cruel overlord or another. Not good.

Being a High Elf in Ulthuan (outside Nagarythe at least), a Wood Elf in Athel Loren or a Dwarf in one of the surviving great holds is probably quite okay. You might even survive until old age, if you're lucky.

Being a member of any of the evil races such as DE, Skaven, Greenskins or Norscans probably means a short, brutal life full of betrayals, backstabbing and violence. Not something I would prefer.

Maybe the Moot is a good place, if you are a Halfling and good at hiding from any rampaging Orcs, Ogres or Undead comming your way?

Come to think of it, being a living human subject in Numas would be a good life by the universe's standards. So I'd say either Estalia or Numas if a human.

Yeah if you don't mind your neighbors being a little, uh, flaky

By lore accounts it seems like a pretty nice and safe place. So what if your gardener has er...terminal anorexia.

That's where you'd find me. The food is probably fantastic.

[carlon89]

Yeah you are the race that occupies that area so elven if on Ulthuan and so on. I would of thought Karak Kadrin would of been a nasty place to live sandwiched inbetween the undead and orcs. Also I thought of the Brettonian lands but is there any that are truly safe with Mousillon, Norsca and Wood Elves close by? I agree with Miragliano though it would be really nice there and maybe Magritta or Bilbali.

Bretonnia isn't that safe. Theres a lot of Greenskins and Beastmen within its borders, let alone raiding Norscans, Dark Elf slavers and necromancers.

[Hurricane]

But you could live in a castle... the lands are obv safe no orc or beastmen would dare attack a city they mostly ambush and raid small areas.

Also you could be on a flying mount.

We need to expand thread to citizen level. Obv a bret peasant would just be like medieval times but a lord on a flying mount or even a knight would be great.
