Prior to the Republican Invasion, the population numbers of the Scéäduwëans were depleted during the final undead incursions which ended with the inexplicable Long Peace. Over the past twenty years, these numbers have rebounded to their original levels. Zwerge number 300,000, including men, women and children. Humans number 200,000, divided as follows: 115,000 Corr; 35,000 Ytene; 20,000 Meiochoan; and 30,000 Inar. Orcs number 35,000.
Population distribution has been severely altered as a result of the Republican decree that all Scéäduwëans must live within fifty miles of Hopeful, Sær Illel and Pudzeld. The zwerge have nearly completely withdraw into their subterranean holds in Cloi'yronai's Barrier. Hopeful has a native (i.e., non-Nelmachhian) population of 130,000, broken down as follows: 63,000 Corr; 29,000 Ytene; 8,000 Meiochon; 25,000 orcs; and 5,000 zwerge. Sær Illel has a native population of 51,000, divided as follows: 18,000 Inar; 10,000 orcs; 4,500 Meiochon; 13,000 Corr; 4,500 Ytene; and 1000 zwerge. Pudzeld has a native population of 16,500, categorized as follows: 10,000 Inar; 4,000 Corr; 1,500 Ytene; and 1,000 zwerge.
Roughly 10,000 people, mostly Meiochon hiding in the highlands, have defied the orders of the Republic and are living in the wilderness far beyond of Hopeful, Sær Illel and Pudzeld. Of the 10,000 renegades, 7,500 are Meiochon, 2,000 are Inar and the remaining are Corr and Ytene.
