To put it simply: book one says the broken tusks begin as a 5th level organization. This corresponds to 10-13 followers, and lieutenant level 0. The book says these numbers (the lieutenant numbers?) won’t be correct because of reasons, it’s an old organization etc. The book says the organization should grow to 8th level. Page 21, sidebar.
Book two at a certain point asks whether the organization is eg level 11, 12? Book three similarly.
How am I to determine what level the organization is, and when the level increases, and to what level? The starting level determined in the book is so far off that it makes no sense, and even 8th level does not match anything for follower or lieutenant numbers.
Pragmatic solutions, factual/technical solutions, faq or writer clarifications welcome! Thanks!
