[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 134602, member: 2020"] I realize this may not be remembered, but Archcleric Hazen of the Kevellond League made a plea to the Angels. This plea included a request to evacuate the civilian population of the Kevellond League to Toril. Now, Forrester is the ultimate arbiter of who gets past the Torilian Border Guard, but if he allows them through, then ... The Angels take the civilian population of the Kevellond League to Hope Isle. In this way, these millions of people are housed, fed, and sheltered in a place that has the capacity to do so, and the internal security of the United Commonwealth of Toril is not threatened (the Angels do not permit the refugees to leave Hope Isle, for their own protection. The UC has not given permission for such an emigration.) This happens because William specifically asked that it happen, and because the civilian population of the Kevellond League is just that - a civilian population that has no choice about war or peace, no say in what is happening, and little chance of surviving if they remain on Oerth. The Angels take them to Hope Isle, Toril, and not Hope Isle, Oerth, because Hope Isle, Oerth, is new and not ready for such an influx of refugees, and because the threat from Mina is so overwhelmingly great to all of Greyspace.
