The bulk of his empire consisted of eight hundred and sixty thousand mixed-race followers. It was a massive melting pot of various humanoid and beast-kin species, comprised of the original western armies, assimilated wild tribes, and global refugees. Together, they formed the backbone of his industrial and military sectors.
The human population had seen a sharp increase from the original Sun Spire survivors, reaching one hundred and ten thousand. Entire mortal battalions and displaced farming colonies had defected from the fringes of the global wars, risking the ocean crossing just to reach the absolute stability of his localized grid.
His original subjects had expanded as well. The registry showed fourteen thousand, eight hundred and forty Kobolds. The former mud-village scavengers were now a heavily armed, highly mutated standing army that commanded respect across the Vanguard.
