    Regency nhas no correlation to the number of people, just the amount of
    *worship* (put in relavent class word) a regent gets. Wizard's power stems
    from the populous, not "their" people.

    Even wizards gain power from the respect of the masses.
    Page 31 in the section called... Regency. Hmm Imagine that.

    The less people there are, the higher your source can be. So it seems to
    me you are just plain wrong. Little people means little worship, yet
    wizards thrive on provinces devoid of people and just don't seem to get
    much from those which are crowded with masses in every nook and cranny.

    Oh sure - wizards ruling provinces get power from the masses alright. But
    in a province (0/9) it isn't likely that there are many masses around, yet
    the wizard can get far more power from there than from a province (5/0).

    Llewellyn is a masculine name taken from the Welsh.

    Actually there is one thing a wizard regent gets from a province that has a
    lot of people, money. Good friend Rogr of Illien is the prime example of
    this.
    Course, then they have to deal with non-source holdings, but often people
    find this better than being a pet wizard to somebody to get research
    funds.

    Consistency? Who ever cared for consistency? What's consistency
    supposed to mean anyways? :P

    Yet in another mail you state,

    "They get respect from power. Source levels reflect power. Wizards gain thier
    RPs like everyone else."

    The idea here is that power in one province can lead to respect in another,
    especially if ley lines are used to funnel said power, so RP could be gained from
    an area with little population, even according to your definition of Regency. The
    source holding nets the Wizard the RPs -- but the respect you claim to be a
    prerequisite comes from another province.
