09-29-06, 10:11 AM I was fooling around with the populations from the ECS and created percentage stats by race and country. There were a few interesting things.

1 out of 7 Brelanders are Gnome.
Zilargo has the third largest population of Gnomes in Khorvaire and only 14.8% of all gnomes call Zilargo home.
15% of the entire Orcish poplution of Khorvaire lives in Breland.
More Shifters live outside of the Eldeen Reaches than in it. (52% to 48%)

There are more Jews in the NYC metro area that Israel, an enormous Arabic population in Minnesota, and more sheep than people in New Zealand (by a large factor).

09-29-06, 02:31 PM Set the tables up using the Windows "word pad" accessory. All the characters in word pad have the same width, so it'll show you exactly where things are lining up. Cut and paste from word pad, use the board editing tools to add the bold facing, and then wrap it with your code tags.

You can copy and paste the tables I made by using the board's "quote" function, which will reveal the tags.

Things I find interesting.
15% of Shifters are from Droaam.
Large population of Orcs in Breland.

09-30-06, 01:01 AM Don't forget the islands, mon. Some 12% of the Lhazaar Principalities' 500,000 people are changelings. Without trying to guess what portion of other countries' "other" bracket is changelings, the table should look like:

ChangelingsNation Population % of Pop
Aundair 40,000 15.15
Breland 148,000 56.06
Lhazaar 60,000 22.73
Talenta 16,000 06.06
Total 264,000 Sharn's changelings number around 6,500 (S:CoT 27), which is 3.25% of that city and just under 2.5% of changelings across Khorvaire. So, in Sharn about 3 people in 100 are changelings, while in the Principalities the number is just over 1 in 10. More live in Breland, but you're more likely to run into one among the Lhazaar. What's really odd is that Talenta population-- no major multi-racial urban centers, and a large halfling population they can't blend in with. Unusual place for the changelings to congregate, eh?

Salla
09-30-06, 05:59 PM :confused: Why's it odd that there are more gnomes than elves in the Eldeen reaches?

Because gnomes aren't all that 'woodsy'? Then again, neither are elves in Eberron, now that I think about it (go scimitar-swingin' desert warriors!).
The White Sorcerer
09-30-06, 07:07 PM You know, I wouldn't be at all surprised if gnomes had some connection with the fair folk. They have innate magical powers, and the power of their sorcerers is said to come from a link to the Fairy Court.
maollelujah
09-30-06, 10:09 PM Why's it odd that there are more gnomes than elves in the Eldeen reaches?

Because we've heard of Elves from the Eldeen Reaches (there are named NPC's that are elven), but not a gnome at all.

Secondly, it seems that Khorvaire Elves were spread pretty much equally among the 5N, and I would've guessed that there would've been at least as many Elves as gnomes.

10-01-06, 05:52 AM I'd say most elves are still in Aerenel but that's just me.
Kaodi
10-02-06, 10:07 AM Personally, in any Eberron campaign I would run, the changeling population would be A LOT lower than it says in the books... I mean, come on, if one in every 25 people could change what they looked like, would you trust anyone?

10-02-06, 10:16 AM Said Kaodi:I mean, come on, if one in every 25 people could change what they looked like, would you trust anyone?In the Lhazaar Principalities, it's more than 1 in 10... which probably contributes to Khorvaire's general distrust of 10 out of 10 Lhazaar.

10-02-06, 06:07 PM I wrote up a thing a long time ago about the Eldeen gnomes, because I thought it was a little odd that everything we hear about the gnomes has to do with Zilargo. I'm very surprised that they aren't more represented in the Greensingers, considering their fey-like nature and natural disposition to the bard class. There is an aberration-hunting gnome mentioned in the Warden of the Woods section of PGtE.

By the way, don't forget about the 25% of the population of the Demon Wastes who are fiends!
