Don't get me wrong, when a Lapallanch joined Westmoor Ravier's first instinct was "Spai!". But Meivmayr proved himself otherwise and earned his respect the hard way.
On the topic of welcoming realms.. I'm in agreement with Lappy. I brought Malos home from FEI to Perdan. Not a single person welcomed him with the noted exception of an OOC note from Lappy. After re-establishing him in the CoH, he got an offer from Foxglove to come to Sirion and help try to heal the wounds there, and that's where he is now. Still no-one welcoming him bar the IC letters exchanged between Malos and Ecthelion. Now that latter one might be down to the fact he's a CoH priest.
On the flipside, I've always felt my characters were welcome in the smaller realms of EI. Ravier (and Serrin) were welcomed in Eponllyn without shadow of a doubt. I wonder whether it's a small vs. large kind of thing.
