====Dwarven Population Breakdown====

 1%  Thanes
 4%  Keepers
 15% Clanwives 
 20% Children
 15% Unmarried Women
 15% Married Women (elsewhere)
 30% Unmarried Men

A typical residence will have 1 thane, 4 keepers, 15 wives, 10 boys, 10 girls, 15 unmarried women.  It will support around 25 adventuring men, and will have about 15 married daughters who have joined other clans.

This distribution is an average.  New clans will be smaller and will consist of only the thanes, keepers and clanwives and children.  Clans that have been established carry on after the death of their Thane, with the wives re-marrying a newly annointed Thane.

About one in three Male Dwarves survive to retirement.  One in five of those become Thanes.  

Thanes, Keepers, Clanwives, Unmarried Men, and about half of Unmarried Women are considered to be combatants, or about half of the overall population and about a third of a clanhome.
