As far as Lunar Map of Wesley and Martin indicated, there are six
other Lunar Sacred Cities (its population around 1,000)surrounded the
Crater and made a magical (psychic?) circle. Marion said Glamour is
Zayteneras City with others and the Population of Genertela Book
(500,000) indicates the total of them.

But I should consider about the population of greek polis Free-states
age, (though its population is low, in Bronze Age Glorantha, such
number is more suitable. And not as Mesopotamia or Egypt, in fertile
Peloria, such like place of dense populated aren't needed.)
I rather want to think about the comparison between Raibanth and Constantinople. Its population was over 1,000,000 in the Pinnacle of Byzantine Empire. But early 9th Century, the population declined to 250,000. And Efendi taught me there was only 5,000 in 1453.

As Harrek did in Sog City, I think Yuthuppa was much devastated by the Two Great battles between Lunars and Horse Nomads in the Campaign of Sheng. (Please read Redline History)
