Having checked the worldmap datafile for the number of tiles in each region and my database for the number of Hellmouths in each region I got the following:
Continent totals





Elgea Broken Lands Ocean Neither Total
Land Area 10816114 3016225 2000384 2290 15835013
Hellmouths 360 268 0 0 628






Land Area 68.31% 19.05% 12.63% 0.01% 100.00%
Hellmouths 57.32% 42.68% 0.00% 0.00% 100.00%

So the land area in BL only accounts for 19% of the total map area while it has almost 43% of the Hellmouths. If you take the Ocean out of the total area equation then you get revised land % of 78% and 22% for Elgea and BL respectively. So BL does actually have more Hellmouths than the land area breakdown would suggest there should be.
What is beyond question however is the number of Underworld armies that are being spawned by those Hellmouths. Reading previous posts about the lack of those armies in certain areas gives the impression  that the devs are relying on us to tell them which areas are not getting any spawns. Given that the devs are the ones controlling the server that does the spawning I'm sure they have a much better way of finding that out rather than sitting waiting on us telling them so the impression is probably down to my poor reading/understanding of my native language.

I have to agree with the sentiment of the post from zzal that this is a completely biased tournament. Even if the collecting of the HoDs is only the first stage of a truly multi stage event the bias in the spawns has given a massive advantage to those that are based in Elgea. I'm not sure what could be done at this point to truly level the playing field however.

I've discovered that they move around fairly quickly. 
When they arrive at camp site, they sit there for around 4-12hours. Mostly They camp at the squares: Standing Stones, Monastery's, Mausoleum, Lawstones, stuff like that, etc.

I have not discovered a fixed spawn rate. They have been appearing every now and then with intervals. Maybe new pops 3 times a day or something like that?

There are 2 Punisher of Kerberos IV medals in the leaderboard. The second one should have been Punisher of Kerbeors V.

Why do some Region's in BL only have 1 Hellmouth silbeaur for instance, thats according to tens map , if thats the case you dev's cocked it up plus never seen a underworld in silbeaur.

I think you dev's need to to create another event just for BL seem most of us cant participate. harness the elementals would be good??...

while I'm in moaning mode dev'S explain this from your own BL faq on website.

Q: How do the new Quests work on the Broken Lands?
Soon after The Broken Lands launch (once players and cities have begun settling in) a new Quest arc will begin – a series of interlinked Quests which will run for several months. Individual players and Alliances will be presented with choices, where they can investigate, scout, thieve, attack, defend, and raid through an evolving story arc.
This is not simply following instructions or doing what the Quest text tells you. It is about making choices. There will be little consequences and small rewards along the way, and then at the end the continent will be permanently changed by the players' combined actions.
This is a new continent. The Quests allow you to explore it, and change it.

WHERE ARE THEY!!!!

I have a more general complaint.

When giving a member a medal, you can opt to not have it announced in AC. (actually you have to check a box to have it announced in there)

Could the devs please turn these announcements off for this tournament? It is very irritating when every medal upgrade results in a big AC announcement. It also makes real discussion go out of sight fast.

I haven't seen any Underworld armies in Azura since the Hellmouths appeared.
