Imperial Archmage Azariah Bigby magically creates the Scintilstrait, a section of the Scintilscar that, for the first time in history, can finally be traversed. This event leads to the first exploration and colonization efforts in the West Cleaving Sea since before the Sun Slaying. Bigby is summarily executed by the Vanyal Empire on the 4th of High Summer, but they are too late to prevent vast merchant fleets swollen with immigrants and colonists ready to escape the old world. The first fleet crosses the barrier on the same day. Almost ten weeks later, an expedition led by famed explorer Kelso Flowersea follows the light of Kho'ehden G'loy and founds the city of Highmantle on cliffs overlooking the ocean on the 20th day of Autumn Waning.
