Some places will have few people.Some will be depopulating.Some will be growing.Think of the old west, where you could travel from boomtown to shantytown in a couple hours.Now, here's the trick: what is the population of a space, what is the population of the shadowfell of that space, and what is the population of the other parallel planes of that space? How do they interact? That's where things get complicated fast. I imagine that many places have their steady heroes, like a fire company. They work constantly to "put out fires." Other places do not have heroes, or those heroes are fallen, or those heroes are too busy. An important part of PoL is that there are places with no people left. That is the EXPLORATION part of the D&D game. Heroes are not just responding, but going out and LEARNING about the world.</blockquote>
