Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jacob Marley" data-source="post: 5679628" data-attributes="member: 89537">The demographics of my Furyondy/Shield Lands campaign are based off of the information given in the Dungeon Master's Guide, A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe, and the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer. The MMS: WE took precedence over the DMG, and both took precedence over the LGG. The total population for the combined region is 1,508,800 people. Of that, 120,704 live in Large Cities (2 of them), Small Cities (3), Large Towns (10), and Small Towns (21). The remainder (1,388,096 people) exists in manors spread out throughout the countryside. The typical manor is roughly the size of a Village; there are 3,085 of them.  Running these numbers through the formula in the DMG results in (approximately):UrbanBards - 450; 40 being level 6+Clerics - 450; 40 being level 6+Druids - 450; 40 being level 6+Sorcerers - 300; 25 being level 6+Wizards - 300; 25 being level 6+ RuralBards - 10,000 total; 50%+ 1st level, none higher then 5th levelClerics - 10,000 total; 50%+ 1st level, none higher then 5th levelDruids - 10,000 total; 50%+ 1st level, none higher then 5th levelSorcerers - 5,000 total; 50%+ 1st level, none higher than 3rd levelWizards - 5,000 total; 50%+ 1st level, none higher than 3rd level Excluding Adepts (assume .05% of the population) there are 41,950 spellcasters in a country of 1,508,800 or, roughly, 2.78% of the population. Of that, 170 are level 6 or higher, roughly .01% of the population. Note: Clerics also include Archivists and Favored Souls; Sorcerers include Beguilers, Dread Necromancers, and Warmages. Etc.</blockquote>
