The Strand-Blood Voyage

Expedition

The voyage of a large portion of Abbot II's Strand-Blood Cult across the Orphi Gap.

After Kanel Logratte refused to assist the Strand-Blood Cult in their mission, Abbot II returned and immediately saw to setting sail with 1/4 of her tribe. She did not discriminate between men, women, the elderly, or children regarding who was allowed to come on the voyage. If they had a skill that would support the group, they could come. However, she knew that depending on what was found, the Strand-Blood Cult would need to hold up their position of power among the other groups and their home would need to be maintained. She left her infant son, Merin, behind. Further, her mentor in all things magic and philosophy, Iphan Silungur, would stay behind to educate Merin in spirituality and politics.   She took five small ships, built for sturdiness and livability rather than speed, and set sail west. Today, the journey may be quicker with better technology, but the main factor that slowed them was the constant storms at the edge of the sealine. Still raging since the days of Warren the Chummer, they refused to let up on this voyage, like all others. With sturdier ships of the Jurejun trees, they made their way across the Orphi Gap in due time. They surely thanked Bailum for the safe voyage through his war against the devils and anchored on lands entirely unseen by humanity before: Mot D'nir.
