So I've looked all around for info on Skull Crag. All I can find is two refrences:

1. A mining community, pop. 270, overshadowed by a large rock dedicated as a shrine to Kelemvor. (FRCS p. 112)

2. Large fortified village, pop 2,000, half of which are Purple Dragons. A bit more about mining and farming and how with that many Purple Dragons it was a good spot for growth. (Volo's Guide to Cormyr p. 208)

I know that the FRCS is much newer but I'd think that something would have happend to change the population that drastically or maybe a typo, I checked no errata?

The party come to a town befallen by hysteria

Rogue: So what's in the general store?
DM: What are you looking for?
Rogue: Whatevers in the store.
DM: Like what?
Rogue: Everything.
DM: There is a lot of stuff.
Rogue: Is there a cart outside?
DM: (rolls) Yes.
Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good.

Maybe a typo or the Devil Dragon depleted the population.

I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be.

Enough for now. The Realms lives! I have spoken! Ale and light wines half price, served by a smiling Storm Silverhand fetchingly clad in thigh-high boots and naught else! Ahem . .

Almost all of the populations in the FRCS were changed, either by lowering them or raising them, since the 3e team decided to use the standard figure from the 3E DMG instead of the mish mash of pop figures that were scattered all over the place in 1e and 2e sourcebooks.

There was no in game explaination because it was a setting wide change to get it to equal the figures in the DMG.

At one point, in the old sourcebooks, Calimshan/Calimport had a figure of 2+ million!

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

That would explain that I guess. Thanks Kuje.
