[QUOTE="BigFreekinGoblinoid, post: 1653353, member: 5988"] Great point. I think that it would definitely be a major boon to a more rapid population growth. Looking specifically at agriculture and the effective use of magic, I could definitely see that less people would be necessary to produce enough sustaining crops to begin with - Much in the same way that modern machinery and advanced watering techniques have changed the ratio of food producers to consumers in the last century in RL. Perhaps Ebberon is poised for a huge baby boom? Also a great point about the male-female ratio in a post war environment. I'm not sure how prevalent females are/were in any of the Khorvaire armies though. That is another paradigm I may need to let go of... Ironically, I'm not too emotionally invested in the issue myself either, ( I probably wouldn't have posted here if I hadn't just bought a new World Atlas last week! ) but the idea of a fundamentally different magical society is very intriguing to me. Maybe Ebberon isn't the scratch for that itch though. [/QUOTE]
