Aside from this renown, life for Naqada’s roughly 54,000 inhabitants is rather simple. The lands surrounding the city are one of the main breadbaskets of Khapesh, with extremely fertile fields and orchards that produce vast amounts of grains and fruit. Most citizens of Naqada work in some way connected to agriculture, whether that’s directly in the fields or in mills, shops, or the like. A large fishing fleet is also based in Naqada, relying on seemingly endless catches from the [[Chaska Sea]]. A plurality of Naqada’s population is human, but roughly 30% is [[tengu]] - members of various aquatic races dwell in the Sunken Quarter, making up another 15% of the population.
