About 1,900 people live in New Avalon City proper; the rest live in villages and on farms throughout the colony. About 300 Jungle People are integrated into the New Avalon Colony proper as full citizens; another 5,000 labor as serfs in rural plantations. Jungle People outnumber the newcomers by about 2 to 1, but they aren't very welcome in the city proper -- in the regions where they are allowed, serfs outnumber the newcomers by about 8 to 1.

Also in Albany - a 3rd level cleric/healer/herbalist (medic for the outpost) and an Inn and innkeeper (on the river). After the Invaders conquered Albany, they killed some Avaloners (including the mage/scholar), and others ran off (including the Adventurer Guild rep). The ones listed above stayed and were converted as citizens of the new regime.

270 Avaloners in Shoal

Evenly spread throughout Shoal society.

But Note: The Avaloners in Shoal and Albany, although they are in origination of the stock of the people from the Old Empire across the sea, are not generally what one would think of as loyal to New Avalon or to the Old Empire.
