How big is a division?
I apologize for another lame-ass question, but in the story I'm writing now this actually has relevance. It's the difference between paranoia and reasonable concern.
When you rescue Riordan he tells you that Loghain had turned away 200 Grey Wardens and two dozen divisions of cavalry. When I looked up division sizes I got utterly enormous numbers like 10,000 for single light infantry division, in the modern army. I'm sure that must be vastly larger than in middle ages terms.
Does anyone have a feel for how many actually people that would be?
My thanks!

Re: Being Loghain
I think that one's been pretty conclusively resolved--at least to the extent that if somehow Fiona's kid isn't Alistair, it's definitely not Anders. I honestly never got that one, because aside from a physical resemblance that's easily explained by model reuse, and some superficial similarities in personality, there's absolutely nothing to connect Anders to Maric.
