The biggest problem I have with the geography section, even if the paragraphs reveal little and contain no adventure seeds, is that the stuff that would have taken absolutely no room to cover. For example, under Population:: Humans (Saifhum), minotaurs, humans, kyrie (Mithas and Kothas) Now, see what is missing there? A % version of each in the bloodsea region. Is it 70% humans? 40% Minotaur? I don't know. What I also need is an overall population figure for the bloodsea isles. From that, I could extrapolate the military strength, what percentage of the population is urban/rural etc. So what I really need is: Population: 306,000; Saifum (Humans 98%, 2% Other); Mithas and Kothas (Humans 70%, Minotaurs 20%, Kyrie 18%, 2% Other). Within that line, which takes almost no room to include I know: What type of Empire the Minotaurs have. In the second paragraph, it is mostly a minotaur upper-class, with humans controlled under it. If the percentage of Minotaurs on Mithas and Kothas is higher (say 70%) then they are not simply the upper-class, but also the mainstream of the society (the artisans, the traders, the labourers etc.). That has a profound impact on what the feel of adventuring in the empire is going to be.
