Start of Gorean Palaces Gorean Palaces started with one

question: • How does one build and grow a palace

without stealing people from other palaces?

What problem did we set out to solve?

Too many palaces… Too few people…• 10 Palaces out of 528

draw 283 out of 531 People• 2% of the Palaces• 53% of the Population

The real problem is obvious, too few people
