Interview #72: ACOS Signing Report - Greebs, Entry #4

Greebs

Cool. We [Notice that I’m trying to create the impression that there is more than just me there …safety in numbers etc.] were also wondering about the size of the cities…how big is Caemlyn for instance?

Robert Jordan

[Thinking] Let’s see…Well Tar Valon is 500,000 people and cities like Caemlyn and Tear are around 300,000 or so. I’ve envisioned a seventeenth century society and you’ve got to remember that for those times 300,000 would be huge. [I’m nodding and trying to look intelligent.] Some Asian cities of that period had populations near one million but nothing in Europe was even close.
