The city planners estimate that 20,000 settlers have come through Grimhold since the announcement of the opening of the lands. Two thirds of those are out in the lands currently, while the other third live in New Grimhold (the western section of the city built for the settlers).
With spring arriving, and news of the clearing of the undead, the city planners expect another 10,000 this year. Grimhold is buzzing with activity as upgrades to the city services are being worked on to accommodate all of the new citizens.
