Both questions can be answered with one reply. Argent's current population is 2. At its height it was more like 15,000.
At least Argent is doing better than Strongbadia. Two is better than one tire.

Cool, I shouldn't have any trouble dropping it into my world, then.
Oh ... another notable feature of 'Revenge' is the use of TIME TRAVEL. Its a rarely used trope in D&D -- but I immediately remembered my old 2e Chronomancer book and began to see a lot of possibilities.
Oh good, I like time travel.
I'm definitely leaning towards using Revenge now, adapting it as necessary. At current rate of gaming* I may not be running it until 2012 anyway, so assuming the world doesn't end I have plenty of time to modify & adapt it.
*12 4e sessions per year, or about 4 level-ups.
Well if you like what you read (which I think you will), I suggest lowering the adventure level to 5-10th levels. Given the ease with altering monsters in the WotC Monster Builder, you could easily make many of the giants less powerful. IMC the PCs are already fighting modified frost giants at levels 5-6 (though they are very tough battles).
happy gaming.
C.I.D.
I might do that - one of the first things I did when I got Monster Builder (my 1 month DDI sub runs out in a few days) was create 1e-style stats for giants:
Hill Giant & Hill Giant Pounder - Brute 9
Stone Giant - Soldier 10
Frost Giant - Brute 11
Fire Giant - Soldier 12
I noticed that my Ogre Skirmisher minis are the same size as my Hill Giant Barbarian minis, so that seems pretty reasonable to me.
I'm not too keen on extensive conversion work if running Revenge though, avoiding that is a main reason for not using Against.
The two biggest things of advice I can give for Revenge are:
1) Read it in advance. The whole thing. The layout is rather random at times, and it can be difficult to find plot points.
2) Change the skill challenges. Revenge has atrocious skill challenges, the kind that really do the whole system a disservice. Throw those out, make your own.
