Admins,
I recently asked for the number of men on Skagos and was given the number of 1500 men. After thinking about it though, I do not believe that could be correct. It said when Skagos rebelled that it took several years and thousands of men under Lord Stark and his son (who were both killed) to put the rebellion down. Also, the island is huge! Granted, it has a lot of mountains, but that is where the Skagosi live! They live inside the mountains, in caves, etc. Anyways, 1500 men is less than the average bannerhouse, and Skagos has three major Houses, so I was thinking of a considerably higher number of men for Skagos, from anywhere of 3,000-10,000.
Also, they fight from a young age, and so even their 13 and 14 years old (squires, elsewhere) are warriors. Even some of their women (about a fourth or half) are fully trained in warfare.
Just wondering,
thank you Smith and Stranger for your time,
-Mag

I hadn't planned on it, but He pointed out that Skagos actually has 3 houses on it. So I went with 3,000, 1,000 for each house.
Its a shitty island in the frozen north. I can't believe that more than 6% of the North's full strength comes from Skagos.

I agree with you, I just thought you had asked and mentioned a higher number. I think all the numbers coming my way are confusing me.
