There's a pretty simple remedy to that, allow a second character. Unfortunately Tom has declared this a non-option. Maybe it would be effective to lower the character limit on Beluterra to only one noble. It makes sense canonically since much of the continent was destroyed and thus there just isn't as much space for people.
Even if this results in the surge of new arrivals that people are expecting, those characters will have to come from somewhere else. You'll just spread the problem to other islands. I recommend following the Closing Islands ? thread in General Discussion.
