[QUOTE="Istbor, post: 7612676, member: 6801670"] It is going to be a relatively small number of adventurers depending on the events, location, and cultural atmosphere. However, I like to know the numbers behind the scenes as it were. To remain consistent in my own campaign world. It may not seem like much for some, but I know it is something my players would notice. And call out to me, either at the table or after. So example. My players are currently in the province of Westermont. An island off the coast of the Empire proper. It is frontier land. As far as the Empire is concerned. As such the people are more rugged, and have to deal with more dangers in fauna, flora, and indigenous tribes. I would say that here, there is many more other 'adventurers' than further east, to the main land. That may be subject to change however. Which leads to events. While the players have been isolated from 'world' news, a war of succession is just breaking out. No real battles just yet. A skirmish and various houses and governors scrambling to pick sides and figure out their power-base. I suspect, that as time goes on, this will lead to a marked increase in adventurers. With the rule of law being harder to maintain in once peaceful lands, there will be much for them to do. Especially with bandits and mercenaries about. This points to another of my thoughts. There are nation-states that are vassals to this larger Empire. Not fully inducted, but still somewhat subservient. Not all of them are likely to sit on their hands. The Island nation of Jace for one. Their culture is steeped in the warrior's way. They live to make war and reave. Will their many mercenary companies sell themselves out? Will the nation try and throw off the shackles of vassalage? Depending, they may add even more to the count of adventurers running around. It is an interesting topic to say the least. At least from my perspective as an avid fan of world building. [/QUOTE]
