I think our views are not incompatible. The way I see it is the next:
- - From a nomad POV, Pavis is an oddity that shouldn't be there in the first
place.
- - For most of them it's good that it's closed. They can live their normal
lifes without having to think about it. They can ignore it.
- - For the bolder nomads Pavis is a temptation, the way you mention. But I
think they were a minority most of the time.
- - for most of the third era the nomads had plenty of things to do
elsewhere.
Notice that I was not saying that the Pavis could be entred freely: It couldn't because of dwarf and troll magic. To break that magic it would be needed an even stronger magic. I think that the nomads never were able (or achieved the unity) to do it. On what concerns the City of Thieves, I don't think that this loose grouping of disparate people could do it either.
IMO, if the dragonewts didn't open Pavis in 1539, it would be opened in the 1600's by the lunars.
