@Crake refers to "feeding a person for a year", while you are "feeding a person for a day". If you divide those 50,000 people by 365 days and then by 10, you end up with roughly 13 people per acre sustained for a year.
So the values check out.

In fairness these guys could be our drizzt do'urden.
What, you mean over-dramatic pseudo-philosophers with a martyr complex?
I would not inflict that on you guys.

So I've been thinking of how to make a sneaky magical rogue work. Assuming the volley rule makes the usual internet wisdom impossible (get high sneak attack and CL and then spam Elemental Darts), then here is my suggestion:
Go Beguiler for skill points and sneakiness. At level 5, go Unseen Seer for 2 levels to grab Hunter's Eye, and then go into Arcane Trickster all day (it has faster sneak attack progression than Unseen Seer - but maybe Unseen Seer is still worth it for the class features which are great for sneaks and pump Hunter's Eye CL faster).
Now the issue here is that unless you can persist Hunter's Eye through WBL or DP is generous, you only qualify for Arcane Trickster while Hunter's Eye is active. In that case, I suggest something like Beguiler 5/Rogue 1/Unseen Seer 2/ add in more Unseen Seer or Arcane Trickster levels until you reach level 20.
This build lacks BaB, but you have WBL (and probably UMD) to get access to Divine Power anyway. Then grab a collar of umbral metamorphosis for HiPS (it's very cheap and very good!), and probably enchanted melee weapons ("speed" is a good property to have. See a rogue handbook for others) and wands of grave strike.

We got them and lifted the horrible monster transformation from them for... reasons?

I read a drizzt comic once.
He seemed... O.k? Probably should have stood up for himself a bit more.
His cat was awesome though. Hands down the best character.

@Crake, I have an addition to the terrace plan: rack railways.
Since the Stepstones are pretty mountainous, we are bound to cut some rather steep terraces. Transporting the produce down into the city is thus a bit of a problem, due to the weight. So let's carve a few railways into the slopes with steel racks and wagons that can be used to fix this. The steel cart should be large enough to transport 4 large creatures and uses a pulley system mounted at the top and a counterweight to negate most of the weight of the cart itself. So you can easily move it with a hand cranked winch sitting on the cart.
Also, we should build some manses on the peaks for those rich people who prefer their quiet and solitude, coupled with a good view. Any Djinn who want a vacation home in SD would also likely love it there. And with the rack railways, the hazle of having to walk or ride some animal up a few thousand stairs is no longer an issue.

The guy might be a tad more insufferable if you ever subjected yourself to multiple Forgotten Realms novels.

Wow you are being extremely generous. Two days, three tops.

Completely worth it
They're from GOT, and honestly you haven't pinned them down as Fae, or spirits, or some strange as fuck immortal Gnomes. However have we run into a single intact good D&D race on the prime plane?
Hell we've gone out of our way to not help bring back good metallic dragons from from the grave. But really if one race of elves are around where are the others, or the Dwarfs? I'd bring up Orcs but we already have enough evil assholes running around.
Comic books would probably be a better medium for him. Sadly I just read the books and there he had way too much room to come up with simplistic notions of good and evil presented as amazing revelations.
Perhaps the history of the plane does not work precisely as in more standard settings...
Out of character I just don't want the D&D elements taking over the world-building. It's already enough for a concern with planar events.

@DragonParadox, have we invited Riz'Neth and a delegation of Deep-Dweller Serpentfolk to the Grand Festival so we can properly show off?

Sounds good. I Did The Math, if we have enough mountainous terrain to keep up with expanding demand, we should be able to settle around 20,000 farmers in the Stepstones per year. Capable of feeding significantly more than their own number (well over half a million to almost a full million people per year).
Though if we run out of mountains we can just make more farmland by yanking up rock from the sea floor and spreading the soil out across it.
Incidentally, this might lead to the Arm of Dorne being remade over a very long period of time.
No you have not so far.
Also a warning from what Viserys saw of him he suspects Riz'Neth would compete in the mage duels for the sake of the prize and he would likely sweep all opposition aside with his skill and innate advantages.

... Point.
Could we bribe him not to participate?
Never mind, that's more trouble than it's worth.

Understandable, I'm just a fan of the idea that we'll have a bit of a balance here. dorfs don't have to show up and I don't care, but it'd be nice to have Drow/High Elves, and color dragons/metal dragons if only for the natural counterpoint they are to each other. What with how much lore there is about those groups constantly trying to fuck each other over.
