OK, but Aldryami are Solar cultist and Solars are an imperialistic bunch. I think possible, nay likeable, that Aldyami clans periodically try and infest new woods. Maybe Lunars, nowadays, even help in this (secret) conspiracy: they rid themselves of annoying parasites and trouble the smelly barbarians with a new pest.
"Beorn Sharpaxe, as any morning in the last ten generations of his family,
whistling a tune (from the famous bard Nick Scarlet's collection), strides
to the fringes of the woods near his clan tula. Suddenly he realizes that
something is amiss but it takes him some moments to understand what: he had
never seen such a marvellous bird in "his" ticket. How could the little
thing appear here today? Oho, the bird is singing a strange song. How
melodious!
*th-thump*
(two green-fletched arrows strike Beorn's chest and he dies, smiling at the
alien bird...)"
