And I for look forward to the wackiness which will ensue when clans “ fire jaguar” or the “ smoke mandrills” are unleashed
Or Clan Star Spirit, accompanied by Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline-Kardaan-Khatib (or 'Kindraa MK
4' for short).
That same message fragment from IP3 referred to "previously hidden Clan Blood Spirit Galaxies" and "the 'Blood Adder' alliance which buried two centuries of animos...". Since those two centuries would have kicked off in 3059, could we see such wackiness as Clan Star Spirit emerging from the shadows c. 3250?
Probably not. But if the WoR & its Supplemental hadn't confirmed the Spirit and Mandrill destruction that message might have been fuel for some fun Home Clan speculation.
Do we have any hard numbers of the civilian population casualties rate during the WOR? I would think esp among the coyotes they would have been terrible! The scarcity would then bump up their value right?
Not precise figures. But Field Manual Update does have population stats for each Clan world in 3067. From those I've calculated an approximate total of 388.3 million dead - out of 1, 164, 250,000. Or in other words, we can reasonably expect about one in three men, women and children in Clan Space to have perished in just four years :o And unlike the Black Death which killed a similar proportion, the Clanners have only themselves to blame.
The Coyotes had to purge 95% of their scientist caste, which in 3062 numbered approx. 4,702,306 or 6.41% of the Clan's population (source:
The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky). So between the Society's Revolt and the Reaving after, the 'yotes would have suffered ~4,440 - 4,450,000 dead scientists alone.
