It makes a lot more sense than an attack on the Domain. A few
of the most powerful clans might actually have a chance to get
something out of an attack on Reaver's Deep.

Plausible, but that still dosen't remove the objection of the
Domain being too tough a nut for any single clan to handle (and
that's before we even explore the possibility of allying with
some Aslan clans against other Aslan clans  -  a very real
possibility according to what we've been told about Aslans).
The crucial problem remains: Who goes first?
