OK I've measured the angle of the light direction according to the compass thingy in the index thread, which was about 66° west of north, and have faffed about with this and came up with around 13:05 on 30th September or 1st March:

and then from that sun position (69.27° from the horizon) used the equation shadow length = object height / tan (69.27°) which works out around 0.4 x object height. Rather bizarrely the number 13.2 creeps up again, because an object of 13.2' would cast a shadow of 5', or exactly one square's worth.

30 ft is only 10 meters, that's like a two story house. I was imagining like your drawing, or perhaps this image:
.
From your drawing I'd assume 25 meters plus. This picture is of Bonifacio and the cliffs there are 70 meters (230 ft.) apparently. These cliffs may be a bit too extreme though (but very cool imo).

Sorry if I'm easily confused on this one.
Are the solid grey lines roads?
Your response to me seemed to confirm that in my case (section 40) it was the edge of a cliff. Perhaps that was a slight miss communication. Looking at it with the full map (and not just my section) it makes more sense now as roads.
As for the edge of the cliff just kinda run with the edge of the shadow?
Or am I over thinking this and aside from where I meet up with other districts I can just kinda go with it?
I ask because if it is a road it may have to be redirected around my tower once construction starts. Not too far. Just a little bit, you know those wizards and their towers they don't like too much around them so that road might make a nice bit of extra separation.

It's fine to redirect roads within your section, so long as the location of road, as it transits another section remains the same.
Or, if you talk with your neighbor and decide to move a road location... that can work too.

for me
45, 39, 12, or 23...
or anything you think would be good if those are taken

Josiah - if you have no objections, 12 would be good.
I am trying to fill out the center area first now if I can.
Got it Ranger
For any others wanting a plot, but who are less concerned with specific plots...
Next sections to fill....6, 9, 10, and so on
