Just because i'm crazy enough to do it. Anyway...

 

According to the site, there are about 200-300 Myrddraal of the 1st Circle. We don't have any raw numbers on the others, but we do have percentages in the Elder FAQ though, which we can use to estimate the amount of Myrddraal in the Trolloc tribes to get a rough estimate.

 

"The fact less then 40% of 2nd circle Myrddraal make it to the next level..."

 

200 is 40% of 500, and 300 is 40% of 750.

 

Therefore, there are 500-750 Myrddraal of the 2nd Circle in the Trolloc Tribes.

 

"Evenso, the death ratio of Myrddraal that lived to experience the 1st power leap (...)  is higher then 60%"

 

Let's assume 60% for this one. Backtracking percentages, i come to the conclusion that there are 833-1250 Myrddraal of the 1st Circle in the Trolloc Tribes.

 

Lastly, the Fadeling mortality number:

 

"It is often not enough and the death ratio of Fadelings before they reach the 1st power leap is 80%!"

 

Therefore, the amount of Fadelings that are born (including those that died trying to get their first power leap) lies somewhere between 1042 and 1563.

 

A small count of all the clans combined tells us there are a grand total of 3,285,714 Trollocs (number based on setting the total amount of Warriors against the Draft rate). Given that pretty much ALL Myrddraal end up joining the military because of what they are, this puts the chance of a Myrddraal baby being born at between 0,000317 and 0,000476, or 0,03-0,05%.

 

Anyway, back to the numbers again. After going through all the clan data, i found there are 2,550 Fists in the Tribes (some have larger Fists than others, i've seen 300 Trollocs to a Fist pop up once or twice). Stating that 50% of born Myrddraal will die before they get the chance to reach adolescence (losing another 30% there before their 1st power leap), there should be some 1300 Myrddraal to divide amongst them, averaging 0,51 per Fist (or 51%). Taking into account that some Tribes have larger Fists than the norm of 100, i estimate roughly 1 out of 3 Fists in the Blight have a Myrddraal in them.

 

For the purposes of these calculations, i assumed the number of Myrddraal leaving the Fists (power leap, death etc.) was about equal to the amount of new Fadelings that would rise to take their place.

 

Enjoy! Hope i got everything right though ^^;

lol yeah there some impressive statistic in the old spawn write up specialy the trolloc one...and when you think of how little information the books actualy give us on spawn

 

the guys making it all done an amasing jobb, makes it really interesting, i sure know i couldnt come up with half of it ;)

Heh, same here, which makes it all the more impressive. One thing i encountered though:

 

Ghraem'lan has 80,000 Warriors on a population of 100,000, which would make the Draft rate 80% (way too high). According to the general Tribes page, their Draft rate is 40%, meaning their actual population would be 200,000.

 

That's the only mistake i found though ^^;

 

Anyway, hope whatever i wrote helps the site :)

nods whats posted on spawn is pretty much set up as originaly made, and alternations are most often mark clearly this to preserve the history of old work
