Well this seems a tad weak to me for the Pure Horse Tribe ruled for longer in Prax (from 620 to 1250 ST) and they were only kicked out after severe previous defeats. Given this, why should we expect the the other nomads to co-operate in kicking out the sables?

Then why were the Lunars able to defeat the Carmanians? Why were the Lunars able to defeat Sheng Seleris when he was at the height of his powers and then some? Why have the Lunars been able to defeat Orlanth in the very land where he was born and the Praxians within the confines of their Sacred Land?

To say that the Dara Happan magic works no better than anybody elses is like saying that the Technology of the 19th Century Europeans is no better than anybody elses IMO.
