Fazzur Wideread commissioned the Great Survey of Dragon Pass, there is the Jonstown Compendium, the Reckoning Scroll, Treatise on Horse Breeds and the History of the Black Horse Troop. Bas-reliefs are a relatively new art style for RQ content.

I would say the temples of various trade Gods, in the case of the Orlanthi, Issaries. Merchants caravans need to know where to go.

Most dragonnewts allowed themselves to be slaughtered with the coming of chaos. Only in Kralorela and Dragon Pass did the Dragonnewts resist. Dragonnewts form the Dragons Eye sent out colonies later.

Top down maps have existed since the first millennium BC. I would say a more urban civilization, like the Lunars, would have maps based on proper surveys. The Sartarites maps would be less precise and ad hoc. The link is fragment of a map of Babylon. Https://www.bl.uk/picturing-places/articles/picturing-cities

If you look at the early Anglo Saxon kingdoms they were 100 miles across, the Italian city states weren't any bigger. The bronze age kingdoms of Syria were small, similarly the Bronze age kingdoms of Greece. You are used to walking in todays world with paved roads and easy navigation. Sartar is a much less tamed landscape, that requires the traveller to go off road to get to places. The big reason why Alfred the Great drove off the Vikings was because he established across Wessex fortified towns 25 miles or so apart. Saxon armies could march and have a secure source of food every night whereas the Vikings did not. This made the armies of Wessex more mobile than their Vikings opponents. Supporting 5 or 6 people walking 100 miles is relatively easy, supporting an army is much more difficult.

If you are prepared to dig about on ebay you can get some old white dwarf adventures for RQ3, mostly from issues 80-100. You can also can get tradetalk magazine from drivethru.rpg that have some RQ3 and HQ adventures.

Odd how the Greek orthodox church parish priests are allowed to marry and always have been.

The Tribunes came into existence after 30 years of the Republic. In a more general case, the first 250 years of the Roman Republic, the main domestic issue was the conflict of orders. The Patricians were slowly forced to open all the offices and the major priesthoods to plebians. The voting system of the Republic, throughout its existence, was rigged in favour of the rural tribes as opposed to the urban tribes. The rural poor could not afford to go to Rome for elections leaving the wealthiest votes to count the most.

I was using the real world Roman Republic before the tribunes as a model. The clans act like an Athenian deme or a Sienese contrada.

In my version, each city in Sartar had a urban tribe. This tribe contained the poor and middle classes but the wealthy and holders of priesthoods were members of a rural tribe. Each urban clan was responsible for an area of the city for civil and infrastructure matters. Things like fire fighting, maintenance of roads, walls and minor shrines, minor legal disputes and crimes. However urban tribe members were excluded from the city ring. The Lunars tried to exploit this and the PCs tried to stop the Lunar agents.
