So, what if we say the average dale had about 1,000 people. That would mean High Hallack had about 50,000 people. Kind of a poor showing for a country coveted by Alizon. Let's be generous and say the populations were around 10,000 each. I don't recall any specific numbers being mentioned in the books, except for numbers of villages with respect to Falconers.
Most numbers seem to refer to the number of soldiers a lord or officer commanded.
That's not very many. And some of the larger dales such as Ulmsdale and Vestdale would have to have more than 1000 people. That would mean High Hallack had about 50,000 people. Kind of a poor showing for a country coveted by Alizon. Most numbers seem to refer to the number of soldiers a lord or officer commanded.
