Mass Migration is something that happens from time to time. Looking at history, something broadly resembling a mass migration normally takes place every few centuries.

Some mass migrations are peaceful, though most end up being done at least partially through the tip of the sword. Sometimes there is a great disaster that people flee from in mass. They generally either have enough swords or gold to find a new place to live, or they are slaughtered or enslaved by the people who live where they are going.
