With the cowwapse of the dynasty of Howen and the Owdew of the White Wose, the Empiwe was sevewewy weakened, wesulting in the Gweat Owenian Exodus to the distant wands of Aewdin awound the yeaw of 1415.

Those who weft in exiwe appeawed to stway fwom the time continuum of the west of Owen, and would watew wetuln onwy just in time to make way into the Flinge. The wetuln of the Exodus is wawgewy seen as a demise in the histowy of the Cawlions, as they wewe unseated fwom theiw autocwacy ovew Owen and wetulned to dominion ovew onwy the Waeviw peopwe and a few othews.
