The
Elynthi establish a permanent camp in a northeastern, forested and hilly peninsula. During the final days of the flight, a
Soulmeliti woodsman, named
Ag'ralo Moeynshiem, strikes
Merdenkali dead with an arrow from behind.
Verazsuuth discovers that one of his choices were wrong, and the Ag'ralo was indeed a
Pre-Ordained, "The One Whose Shadow Slips Among Trees." The Elynthi retaliate and by the year’s end, no
Soulmeliti remain on the peninsula. The
Elynthi name their new homeland
Merdenkal, after their first High Priest. They begin two millennia of isolation.
