[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2225103, member: 13966"] Yeesh Sarellion..... How many times do I have to say that food shortages and such were only mentioned vaguely before as possible solutions? Once again, I have not been pushing for that to be the reason or something, and never has anything been contributed that says "Asani shrank for lack of food" or anything of the sort. It does NOT need to be debated any more, it never had to be debated in the first place, a simple "My knowledge of how that stuff works just doesn't support the likelihood of a food shortage doing the trick, how about something else?" would have sufficed. As I said we don't even need to figure out how or why Asani shrank, but if someone wants to contribute a reason that they are certain would work, nothing's stopping them. This topic is done, it's unimportant, contribute whatever you like regarding the Aleasani shrinkage because it doesn't matter to me, and chances are, it doesn't matter to present-day Aleasana either, [I]though it could if someone wanted it to[/I]. I've only continued these posts to counter your few illogical points, I never wanted to debate this, but I do feel the need to dispel any false conclusions before they get mistakenly applied by someone not realizing their inherant fallaciousness. Lalato, if the Northerners were of Aleasani stock, then it must have been from the original invasion, and I doubt that, because Northerners are regarded as barely more human than Urukhs or half-Shay by Aleasani. It's been hinted at in the contributions that perhaps another race of humans lived in Aleasana before the conquest, but never confirmed; the one post that said the first Aleasani king married Elitha said that Elitha may have been Shay rather than human, but no one knows. It's possible the Northerners were around before the Aleasani arrived, whether or not any humans lived in Aleasana proper before the invasion. The reason and nature of the Curse of the Asani is, as of yet, a mystery. Rhialto made some vague link in one contribution between the Curse of the Asani and the Ruin of San'Sai, but nothing specific. [/QUOTE]
