What does the average Ptolus resident know about his or her community? Here are some basics: • Humans are by far the most common race in the city. • The Ptolus year has 364 days, with twelve months and a seven-day week. • The Ptolus climate is cool, with many overcast or rainy days. • Commoner men typically wear white shirts and vests, sometimes with a widelapeled coat. Hats are frequently worn. Men usually keep their hair short and their faces clean shaven. • Commoner women wear dresses, often covered with an apron. They wear their hair long, sometimes styled up. • The typical commoner earns 1 to 3 sp per day. A silver piece is often called a “shield” or a “shiny.” • There are no banks, as such, but you can rent out a small personal vault to store your valuables at places such as Hammersong Vaults in Oldtown. • Buildings have glass windows that hinge open. • Most buildings, but not all of them, have indoor plumbing, including privies that pump water in via hand pumps and drain it away into the city sewers. • You can hire a messenger to carry notes and packages anywhere in the city. This typicallycosts 1 sp per delivery. There is also a magical messenger service. • Carriages are widely available for hire to take you wherever you want to go. This service costs about 1 sp per trip. • While no stranger to magic or monsters, the typical Ptolusite fears the undead rumored to stir in the Necropolis. Even more real, however, are fears of thieves, fire, and plague. • The Ptolus City Watch is extremely competent. Despite this fact, the city has a terrible crime problem. • Ratmen live in the sewers. • Rumors speak of Cults of Chaos finding new members about the city these days. • Imperial law requires that everyone carries identification papers. Written law favors citizens over noncitizens, but practical law favors the upper classes over the lower. • Spells that make people do things they normally wouldn’t, like charm person, are illegal in Ptolus. So are spells that create undead or spread plague. • Most shops and places of business stay open as long as the sun is up, which means that business hours are longer in the summer than in the winter. Many are open seven days a week.
