The map made for 1015 shows a very big Leeha domain while the entries = only mention two 24 miles hexes.. (or eighteen 8 miles hexes) plus the population given for leeha is only 6700... it's small compared to the neighbouring duchy of Kameloth...(pop: 19 = 000) What do you think of it??? Thibault Sarlat.

(or eighteen 8 miles hexes) Well it is possible that it doesn't actually occupy all that land just "claims" it. Thats one explanation. As for the actually one, better ask whoever was involved. > plus the population given for leeha is only 6700... > it's small compared to the neighbouring duchy of Kameloth...(pop: 19 > 000) Well the population density change from wilderness to borderland is pretty extreem too, it really depends on what the city has too offer. The population densitys vary intensly in those areas anyway. I wouldn't be too concrened. just some thoughts.

Leehashire is obviously larger than two 24 mile hexes. I would say the correct area would be ~9000-10,000 sq. miles (18-20 hexes). The 998 sq. miles is a holdover from the PWA's. The hin are, however, sparsely populated (I think the latest pop. is 6700), but in general, listed populations are quite low, IMO. I don't know much about Kameloth, but humans generally propagate much more quickly than demi-humans. There may be some additional explanation in the MA for Kameloth's growth. If you're updating NW's maps, check out my Leehashire map at the Vaults. The neighboring lands don't coincide with the MA, but the hin clanholds do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thibault Sarlat" To: Sent: Monday, August 05, 2002 6:59 AM Subject: [MYSTARA] error in Norwold entries?? while consulting the entries for norwold domains to feed up my mapping of the region, i spotted what could be a big error.
