There's a very strong sentiment among the Xavax that prevents them from taking meaningful action. part of that comes, imo, from clever politics and manipulation originating with the Sirionite Leadership.
The Obsidian islands or a Realm hugging the northern coastline are both death-knells. What will you do if you have a Realm in either location? Neither can support a medium sized realm, travel time will be murderous and you'd literally be under the boot and heel of other Realms.
Hell, people know I've tried to make things happen.
