#Dungeons 2 population points full

Thay is home to over half of Faerun's Orcs, nearly three quarters of its Goblins and whapping 80% of its Gnolls.Cormyr, which I'd always had the impression was a big deal in the setting, is at best a mid-tier power even compared to the likes of Amn and Sembia.Seems a great place for a group oif adventurers looking to build

#Dungeons 2 population points full

Its also the cradle of humanĬivilization, so there's bound to be lots of ruins & dungeons full of powerful artefacts. The Vilhon Reach is divided into numerous small states, but has a total population between 5.5 & 10 million.Mulhorand currently controls most of Unther, and is undisputedly most powerful nation in the setting in conventional terms.The most populated nations are Mulhorand (5.4M), Calimhsan (5.3M), Thay (4.9M), Unther (4.2M) and Tethyr (3.8M).Hobgoblins don't appear once in the demographics, and are mentioned once in the text.Gnolls and Lizard Folk are between them about as numerous as Orcs.Half-Elves are about as common as full-blooded elves, and often form significant portions of the population in nations with no modern Elf presence.Thesk is the only nation with more than 5% Gnomes. The number of Gnomes is tiny, just 330k outside the Lantan Isles.Dwarves have a much larger concentration in the Great Rift, though most of their population is still scattered around the world.Halflings are scattered all over Faerun in areas mostly controlled by other races, with only a realatively small population in their homeland of Luiren.Elves and Orcs are rare outside their concentrations. After humans, halflings are most common with 3.5 million, followed closely by Dwarves.Humans are the most common race, at over 80%.Faerun's total sentient population is about 66 million, roughly comparable to modern Britain or the Roman Empire.All the proportions given in the book very deliberately add up to 99%.Being a scientist, I started crunching (or rather lightly nibbling) the numbers in order to learn about the setting and made a few observations I found interesting and thought others might find interesting: My exposure to FR has previously been entirely through the Baldur's Gate videogames and occasional references in other D&D material, so I went home, purchased the 3E FRCS, and started reading when I noticed each nation described not only has a dubiously specific population figure, but demographic information on the proportions of various races as well. The Exalted game I run recently came to the end of a major story arc and went on hiatus, and one of our group suggested a new game: the player characters are refugees trying to escape the totalitarian magical dictatorship of Thay in the Forgotten Realms! I loved the concept as he described it and we discussed it, to the I've gone on to make a potential character for every class (we're to use 5E rules in the 3E version of the setting).
