There are a lot of Amentan countries. Vanda Nossëo representatives are dispatched to all of them. These Elves (two with black hair, one with silver) take a shuttle down from the lightleaper to a country called Calado, and radio ahead to request permission to land at a elegant modern spaceport.
okay by comparison Voa and Tapa look like thriving modern democracies
"I understand and I assure you we're really pulling out all of the stops to come up with something adequate. But if there are five people here who each have something adequate, and we do all five..."
"If you hadn't had me along I wouldn't have thought to assume that the esteemed theologians who remained weren't covering it between them. But..."
"I understand wanting to be sure. I really do not think you have any information over and above that, except the information that this would also suffice.
If, say, under your interpretation the magic they have changes someone from 'inherently polluting' to merely 'currently contaminated and in need of a shower', you wouldn't get a power like theirs, because that's not satisfactory. But their powers and a shower would still be wholly adequate."

"...that's not what I said, but as it happens we aren't trying to prevent aliens from owning Tapai land and have no grounds to enforce an out of caste income cap on you."
"I was just thinking that the landowners would be the most reluctant to emigrate. Well, we don't have applicable laws that'd affect a non-member, it's all PR considerations and if you think that's what's best for Tapa we can definitely arrange for them to have somewhere to go."
"I think it's clearly positive sum for the reds to be moved somewhere that will better appreciate them."
Nod. "I'll tell places to start advertising."
Soon there are descriptions online of member states that take immigrants and their laws and living conditions and job openings there.
Peka gets a big physical book of same, with glossy pictures and the page for Ambaróna circled.
