Probably about as inbred as the human species, tbh.

you would have to make.... a very large family tree to find this out, i think. It's probably pretty safe to say a lot of imps are related somewhere along the line, though

More inbred than a family of royals back in 1700's

Quite a bit. Figure around 1500ish imperial scrolls to the amount of imperials we have now.
A lot of imperials were bred with WCs earlier on but there is still a lot of the distant cousins thing going around.

huh. i wonder which breed is the most inbred

I'd think it'd be Gaolers, seeing as they can't breed with anything else. Imps can, at least. Who knows, though.

People can make new Gaolers, bringing in fresh blood.
But you are right, Imperials can breed with other breeds, so I don't think inbreeding would be a big problem.

I don't actually know, but instead of writing out my guess, I provide you this image

The five-generation rule still applies, so they can't ever be more inbred than that. Also, a lot of imperials are still bred with non-imperials; wildclaw and coatl mates both have a better chance of hatching imperial than non-imperial offspring, and even more common mates can still hatch an imperial every so often.
