# Answer key - storytelling and worldbuilding

## Must hold
- Three guilds only: Mudwalkers, Saltbinders, Gatewrights. Any other named body that runs, judges, taxes or polices the town is a fourth.
- No iron on the flat: no iron gate, hinge, nail, runner, blade, chain or shoe outside the walls. Iron inside the town is not forbidden.
- No horse, mule, donkey, ox, camel, dog-sled, or anything ridden or pulling.
- The sea returns every nine days at dawn and stays one day. A timeline or tale that has it come on another rhythm, or stay longer, contradicts fact 1.
- Founded Year 1, now Year 212, 4,100 people. Dates outside 1–212 or out of order contradict fact 2.
- The one law is about the flat on the Turn. A different "one law" contradicts fact 5.
- Nothing from the real world: no church, priest, god by a real name, saint, coin, month, weekday, language, country, city.
