[QUOTE="The Burned Man, post: 153603, member: 338"] This was never settled, but look at the size of the Strongholds. Lets take Lavernum for instance... 150000 inhabitants. Since its a pre-industrial society it would propably require 10 peasants for every city-dweller. (Don´t have to belong to the dominion of Shay Lay, but still supply the city with resources). thats a lot of people. Still if we assume that technology and magic makes agriculture more effective, then we could have a more urbanized civilization. And if you look at the mountains. The Forge and Templemount together have one million inhabitants, they need food, food, food and grain. Thats why the Gnomish Brotherhood has so much power. The entire economy of the region revolves around transporting food to the strongholds of the mountains. ------------------------------------------ "The Capitol City of Gral-Shalar, Ibrickham (Ib-rick-ham or heart of the world) is relatively small by Kesselian standards having only 20,000 or so inhabitants. It is constructed out of massive granite blocks quarried from the bedrock of Gral-Shalar and is actually one of the oldest constantly inhabited cities in the Kessel, with evidence pointing to a primitive wooded ceremonial lodge created almost 700 years before the founding of Egran." Hmm, so the city has 20000 inhabitants? So how many leave in the principality itself? ten times as many, five? Also Egran lists the population of the City alone? Right or wrong? Eh, just confused:) --------- Otherwise no problems. Just refer a little to the Prince-thing. If they are a principality the leader would have that title and still be under the "legal" authority of the Grey King even if he offers fealty to the LoB. [/QUOTE]
