I think the Praxians find it hard to live in Pent (aka the Land of False Plenty) because of the terrible Winters and the fact that its inhabitants are not in the Thanksgiving Mood to help out. So if a Praxian Animal Nomad clan tries to emigrate to Pent, they have got Big Problems.
The Pure Horse Tribe ruled in Prax mainly because it was backed by the EWF and the God Learners at various times which gave it a distinct advantage in magic and (metal) armaments. The Pol Joni's association with Sartar and Tarsh confers a similar advantage. Sheng (from what I have heard) may have made a successful incursion into the Wastleands but then again he was ruling over large chunks of Peloria which helped.
