Yes, if Fasa wants to mantain continuity between the times of shadowrun and
earthdawn they will. In earthdawn there are two prime examples of this. One is thera,
they are said to have a much higher adept (PC) level then the rest of the world. This
occurs because of two things, one they are decended from a population which has more
adepts (r.e. the founding of thera in the ED rule book) and secondly because they are
constantly at war with other cultures. They need the adetps to fight.
The second and perhaps more usefull example is that the birth rate of adepts has
risen dramaticaly since the start of the scourge [and you thought bugs where bad
-shudder-]. I don't know from whence the info on this came I just remember reading it.
