Thanks everyone for your responses! Â 
I agree that they might be eating the dragons they slay, and that they are likely not surviving THAT well through this forced winter. Â I think once we can get to Ishgard, it'll be interesting to see if these predictions about their social classes will be accurate, because it sounds like it so far. Â And I hadn't thought about all the sheep in the Coerthas Highlands, so having their wool imported to their city would make a lot of sense!
Also I had not played during 1.0, so I was not aware how large the map of that area was, and wasn't sure if Ishgard only owned the land in the city limits or if they actually ruled over an entire "country" of land outside the city-state. Â I can't wait to see the new maps that'll come out soon to compare to the ones shown here. Â =D
As a side note, my main RP character is from the mountain range near Ishgard (or was, depending on how this plays out) but they relied on a nearby valley to grow their own food and materials as well as trade routes that they created in the mountains. Â So I guess I'll be studying Ishgard in-depth once the rest of the lore comes out. Â XD
