That would be invasion, not migration. Ihatei are so troublesome because Aslan see *unoccupied* land as *available* land. They are constitutionally incapable of recognizing a technical claim of ownership to a world (or continent or island or . . . well, you get it . . .) where nobody's actually currently in residence. Richard Aiken ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And then there's the prestige/macho factor; A male aslan can't be a 'real man(aslan)'(tm) unless he actually holds land. I wouldn't be surprised if an impoverished aslan land-holder was more esteemed than a much richer but landless one.. ==============================================================================================
