Where's that "80" come from?
30,000 / 375 = 80
30,000 / 187.5 = 160 ("as little as half that" --
see my parentheses, above)
Either of these numbers fit the TR description of 15 miles by 25 miles.
> Assuming a typical clan has a population of 1,200 or so*
Seems a safe assumption, given TR p.29.
> there are actually around 120 or so in Sartar
Which is midway between 80 and 160. Fits neatly, no?
