There are a lot of Amentan countries. Vanda Nossëo representatives are dispatched to all of them. These Elves (two with black hair, one with silver) take a shuttle down from the lightleaper to a country called Calado, and radio ahead to request permission to land at a elegant modern spaceport.
okay by comparison Voa and Tapa look like thriving modern democracies
The adult subjects from the volunteered neighborhood are all either already morphed or recently gave birth but they can get a recently gave birth.
It's not the most satisfying approach. He reminds himself that Peka and Katin are indestructible.
He tells Tapa that servants could be provided to do the work if Tapa's prepared to clean and integrate everybody.
"I suspect many of them will want to do that but expelling a population involuntarily looks bad. We can set up appealing alternatives and advertise them aggressively?"
"We were thinking that if they weren't going to be here we could bypass the question of caste transition entirely."
"...that's not what I said, but as it happens we aren't trying to prevent aliens from owning Tapai land and have no grounds to enforce an out of caste income cap on you."

She investigates the house keys to see if they teleport her someplace.
First one takes her to a pretty nondescript valley somewhere; second to a different one.
Third takes her to a bigger, prettier apartment in the penthouse of a two-hundred story skyscraper in downtown Ambaróna; it looks out on the palace and has five bedrooms and two hot tubs.
There are other apartments on this floor, doors closed, and an Elf vacuuming the landing next to the elevator.
