D'Hara/History/Second Census

The Second Census was conducted in the Winter of 21 YD by Ismail Tandaros.

A new census was called for when the Tandareen Council first convened to work on the Book of D'Hara. Realizing the state of extreme neglect and the long time since the Book was last revised, a census was called for to see whether Sanguis Astroism had become the majority religion of D'Haran nobility; subsequently the Tandareen decided it would also be a good chance to examine how D'Haran character had changed in the span of ten years.

The Census used the same questions as the First. It was distributed to all nobles through their respective house of government. The realm's participation rate of the Second Census was 64%, surpassing that of the First Census. The House of Lords had 92% participating while the Midlands Council had 38%.

Interpretation

1) D'Haran nobility is largely middle-aged, with a fresh influx of younger nobles at court and a peppering of elderly lords.

2) D'Haran nobility hails from all over the world, though many nobles originate locally in Dwilight or in Atamara.

3) The majority of D'Haran nobles are warriors, heroes, and cavaliers. There are a handful of traders, courtiers, and priests.

4) D'Haran nobility is a complex patchwork of competing claims and titles. Many nobles have served as lords, dukes, or government ministers. NB: This finding may be skewed due to the knighthood's comparatively low return rate in the Second Census.

5) D'Haran nobility is quite evenly split between Sanguis Astroism and Verdis Elementum.

6) Many noblemen prefer archery, though some lead infantry companies and others favor employing special forces. D'Hara generally shuns the use of cavalry as they do not fit well on ships.
