Aironoian Migration (concept)
The Aironoian Migration was a resettling of Öltenic clansmen in Aironoi in the aftermath of the Battle of the Wall of Astila. After Kagakhatan Baytor's death, his army largely dispersed into warlord groups who displaced or assimilated native cultures in their territory. Foremost of these warlords was Korsakai Khatan, who had survived the battle though was rendered lame by an axe strike to his thigh.
Although Korsakai Khatan's clan was mostly wiped out, his martial prowess and charisma allowed him to exert influence over the other warlords, and he proclaimed himself hayakhatan soon after. Other influential khatans in Baytor's army followed suit, though their empires crumbled after their deaths while Korsakai's empire lasted a generation after his own death.
While most of the Öltenis that followed Baytor were content to remain in Aironoi and forge their own destiny, the remainder either went back into Kashirya with Ögotei and Mogha or migrated elsewhere. One of the peculiarites of the migration was the view that Baytor was a hero who died before his time; this view was spread by Korsakai, who respected Baytor greatly, while Ögotei and Mogha demonized him upon their return to Kashirya.
