"I... suppose that makes sense. This one also has drawbacks, but I suppose a large and thoroughly warned population of mortals with their own food supply - do also be sure not to grow the food on land anybody claims as territory or might remember having ever done if they knew there were mortals farming it - might just wind up working sort of like a breeder colony with more turnover, after long enough? It could end in disaster, but so could your world frequently trying to end."
