By contrast, the Technocracy probably has a fairly strict pyramidial distribution, with the fewest on top and as many as half being "Apprentices. For instance, thr Masters and archmasters are probably doled out more evenly that Tradition numbers would suggest. Ranks will tend to break statistical predictions as the increase. That means the Traditions have 12,000 members.īreakdown by rank makes most Tradition mages Disciples, with a significant narrowing at Adept rank thanks to attrition and fewer apprentices because they tend to die more easily and because magic is generally in decline. Let's make it an even 30,000 Awakened mages in the world. *The higher ranks Trad may have a fractionally higher number of members.īill Bridges revised the numbers during his run, which were originally 1 mage per million or 1 per 500,000, to 1 per 200,000 ro 250,000. These experts in the Mind sphere were also inspired by the Hong Kong action films of the 70s through 90s and turn their bodies into Awakened weapons. To make some hard choices and put it all in a list, with breakdowns the ranking from largest to smallest would be: The Akashic Brotherhood has a storied history both in game and out of game. The Euthanatos are supposed to be smaller than the other Traditions. The Virtual Adepts and Sons of Ether are probably about equal size and next largest after the trads above.
The Ecstatics are probably about the size of the Verbena.
The Verbena trail slightly behind these two. 1) OoH (they recruit more than any other Trad and the House structure lets them incorporate many different styles)Ģ) Akashic Brotherhood (they recruit less than many Trads but have the largest population base to draw from).Īfter that, the Dreamspeakers and Celestial Chorus are supposed to be pretty large and diverse.
