The Grand Departure
Placeholder page for later development.
Why This Mention Matters
- This event should clarify how the first organized departures from the Shadowlands became more than scattered exploration and turned into a civilization-scale movement.
- It is important because it likely sits between first contact with Ardentis and the later Exodus, which makes it a key bridge event in the setting's migration history.
- It should also explain which leaders, factions, or survival pressures transformed departure from desperation into strategy.
Development Direction
- Establish whether the Grand Departure was a single famous launch, a named fleet movement, or a longer phase remembered as one event.
- Clarify how this departure relates to the later full Exodus and whether Ardentian memory preserves it accurately.
- Identify the main actors who made it possible, opposed it, or mythologized it afterward.
