Table 2 lists the most importantdomains of the Grand Duchy, with averagearea, human population, and density.Note that the population figures shown abovedon’t take into account the small percentageof demi-human population who may befound within those domains. For example,Threshold has a not-negligible population ofhalflings, gnomes and dwarves, while theBlack Eagle Barony hosts some humanoids.Many other minor noble estates dot theGrand Duchy’s lands: among these areHighdell (north of Threshold), Ourosco,Darinov, and Strolojca (on the coast betweenthe Black Eagle Barony and Sulescu), Brezovo(on the coast between Sulescu andMarilenev), Bergoi and Veseya (on theCastellan River south of Castellan Keep),Glucynthos and Locrida (on the coast southof the Dymrak Forest). These minor estatesusually range from 50 to 100 square miles ofland, often including a small keep, castle ormanor, and at least a medium-sized village,alongside some additional thorps orhamlets; their population varies accordingto the type of terrain and region in whichthey are found, ranging roughly from 500 to5,000 people.URBAN POPULATIONOverall, the Grand Duchy has an urbanpopulation of 14.5% - “urban population”here meaning only those living in cities withat least 10,000 people (that is the capital,Kelvin, and Fort Doom).
