      Oh shoot, yeah.

      But like, were there even more than 4? That’s not even a village or a hamlet. In terms of pure population size, they’re basically just a campsite.

          Doyalism is boring though! I prefer to torture a Watsonian interpretation of a setting until it makes sense, no matter how badly it’s written.
