Calimport had a large unicorn population?
Since the restart of Skyfire (aka son of Skyfire), the two armies have been using slaves like they were going out of style but that's still a huge number to folks to have gone through. I guess those that were able took the first oppportunity to pull up stakes and leave town.
I believe that the implications are they all died, probably due to the abuses of the Gensai.
What genasi?
I'm out of the loop here.:P
The bad Genasi (the ones that use slaves) now inhabit Calimport and Memnon (sp?).
Oh I see. Can you give me any more detail?
Fuji the Samurai was sitting outside of a tavern when Barrelfist the Dwarf got into a drinking contest. Lisa the Rogue was picking pockets as usual, she then rolled a 1 and was caught. Well, Barrelfist immediately errupted to her defense and being rowdy drunk, everyone else, got into it. Well the watch was called and they attacked with lethal weapons, so our crusading heroes responded, killing most of them.
Well, now a dozen watch were dead and that's a lot worse crime than rowdiness, so they assembled the Calimport army. The player characters, justifying this as Calimport was evil, then proceeded to attack them from group to group for the EXP. Andrea, the Necromancer, eager to try out her newest spell idea then got the piles and piles of scarab corpses she'd been buying and dipping in poison. Then she cast Animate Dead on them, leading to a swarm attack as she told them to attack the guards.
Well, that's a dumb thing to give to mindless undead and they started killing and moving through Calimport like a plague as the PCs watched on in horror. Ultimately, about two thousand died there, as the PCs decided to get rid of the problem by burning down all the areas that the insects might be hiding. Justifying a swarm like that was a major problem. This, according to the DM rolling two twentues caused the entire lower ward to catch fire and killed about twenty thousand.
....Then things got really bad.
To cut out the middle men, the player characters decided to raise a horde of Demons from the Nine Hells in order to get rid of the summoned Genies and then unleashed the Seven Sisters to attack the Demons and that's actually how most of the Chosen died. After that, they tricked the retarded Lawful Good Halfling Hireling to breaking the Staff of the Magi over his knee in order to do a retributive strike at the heart of the city.
The player characters claim this fixed all the problems and is why they should keep their LG alignments.
What genasi?
I'm out of the loop here.:P
-You should see THISthread.

Ehh, it says here that the decrease in people is due to the war, not the water level.

-No it doesn't. It simply says that the population that was 190,000 is now 60,000, and that the city is now landlocked.
-You should see THISthread.
I did, thank you.
The spell plague released Calim and Memnon, the Efreet and Djinn lords of old. With them came many Genasi, and in turn others flocked to the call, or rose up from hiding. The humans were overwhelmed, slaughtered and taken into slavery. There is one Human city left, and the two (Calim and Memnon) have vanished once more. The Genasi still fight on in their names, but there is little for them to different in one another anymore.
-RW
Thanks for the extra information.
-I thought you were referencing the link you quoted.
oops, sorry, I was trying to correct it.
the population was 95 % human, 2 % halfling, 3 % other
Good times, heh.
Shar's Black Book of Secrets.
It was reputed to contain secrets of 5000 mortals who ended up bedded by Shar......
Including the band known as Death Klok
EDIT: Bane should be a very, very happy bunny!
what book, the only book of shar's penning that was there was:

The Twilight War trilogy (two books out so far) and the novel Mistress of Night tells us about a book written by Shar('s minions) and some pages of it, the Leaves of One Night. Collecting them enables a devotee of Shar to summon the Shadowstorm. Guess why the second novel is called Shadowstorm ...
actually 190 000 was without the slaves, you have to add 1 300 000 slaves, various foreign visitors and traders at any given time of the year
-Heh, I didn't even realize that that number was not factoring in slaves...That's a lot of people...
-You should see THISthread.
??!!??Guess i was really badly out of the loop.. comp breaking a month off to the wilderness etc..
Sharn: The race is now considered Chaotic Evil, and they exist to spread lingering pockets of Spellplague across Faerûn, as the hidden masters of the Order of the Blue Flame.
Riiight..
Regarding Calimport ... maybe there was another Night War that we do not know about. The last one cost them 70,000 humans in dead and missing. Just as food for thought.

-You'd expect someone to tell us about such an event...No...Wait...Never mind...
...The second era of Skyfire...
and if 200k are down to 60k, then presumably the 1,3 million slaves have suffered ATLEAST as much. Likely more, being dependant. Or down by ~9/10 to 150K.
Guess there are a lot of empty buildings now..
Calashim is still in War. What's the population of any city while there is a war going on?
-Recently, it was found out that Calimport's population has dwindled to circa 60,000 or so, based on someone else's post. My question: What happened to the 130,000 other people (being as Calimshan's population hovered around 190,000)? Yes, 100 years have passed, but something is not matching up, even with what happened in those 100 years factored in.
Artemis was working over-time on his shift ;)
Err...this is the same city with his midget half-ling friend right? Pasha pook too or something? If I'm right, didn't he say he was going back to that city? I never understood why he left Jarlaxell, he was helping him more then the girl with the half-ling assasins was. Meh
Calashim is still in War. What's the population of any city while there is a war going on?
-Calimshan is a country. Calimport is the city we're talking about. That said, let's take a city that's currently embroiled in war. Kabul. War's been going on there for almost seven years now. The population of the city hasn't plummeted dramatically. Now, obviously, circumstances in Kabul are a lot different than circumstances in Calimport, but that's a massive drop in population.

I don't remember a war going on in the sell swords series...just a bunch a mobs trying to vye for power. I consider that alley wars at most. If there was a war, Jarlaxell would have taken full advantage of it.
You cannot seriously expect me to believe that these creatures appear whole hog and ready for battle. The Syl-Pasha El-Parsekhal was hardly an idiot, and he did have an army and the best Navy in the world.
If I were he, to counter this threat, I would have done the following, considering that I am Neutral Evil:
1) Oh, look, my mages guild has 25+ Archmagi. Who cares how many of them fail their sanity checks? Just cast destructive spells until they go mad, and level the Genasi and Genie threat.
2) Arm the slaves and offer them their freedom. The Genies want to kill them anyway (Or at least, that's what you tell them). The only ones you have to worry about are the ones that survive, which will be few, because you just give them a weapon and minimal armor. You appear to be magnanimous, but hell, you'll have a whole bunch of enslaved genasi if you win.
3) I run every thieves guild in town. Assassinate! Assassinate! Assassinate! It only takes an 8th level rogue to pretty much guarantee someone being murdered in their sleep, and that's not too hard.
4) Hire the Flaming Fists. For an extraplanar threat, they'll come and take good coin.
5) Utterance of the words "I wish" is punishable by death.
And that's just for starters. Really, there's no reason the genies would be able to win except to grant wishes to stupid people and warp them.

... just presenting "good" ideas to the designers of the Forgotten Years, of course.
