>Are there any rough guides
I currently shy away from publishing numbers of thngs, because it seems to really confoudn a lot of people into thinking they are fats instead of guidelines. Nonetheless, I will offer some of my thoughts.
>to the distribution of communal

I imagine that most Heortling peoples are initiates. Say 90%.
>societies? Guides to numbers of disciples and heroes would be
>marvellous too but I expect that that would be asking a bit much :-)
On the average? Say, 0.1% are disciples. 0.00% heroes. At least at the stat. When the Hero Wars disrupt all normalcy and ordinary people become hero fodder then of course all the numbers go out the window.

Yes, I agree with your assessment here.
