Here's a question for Mr. Jeff Kyer:

I'm curious what percentage of the Wenelia population belongs to the Trader Prince network and follows the Ashara Church? I assume that the Trader Princes speak the local language and no longer speak a Western dialect.

BTW, one of my conceptions of the Trader Princes is the medieval Rus of Novogorad and Kiev. Scandinavians traders and rulers that become assimilated into the local population. I'm sure Mark can jump in with plenty of ideas and thoughts.

I was thinking perhaps no more than about 30k folk in the Ashura Church out of a total Wenelia population of about 400k.
