Over the many years since first contact, trade and mutual communication in general between the Awatute and Edegans had become increasingly active. Recently, rumors of an even more advanced people somewhere to the north of the Edegans had begun to make their way to common Awatute, and from there to the Council of the Thinkers. Finally, these rumors reached the point where the Thinkers jointly agreed to send an expedition to meet this fabled northern people. This group left the morning after a full moon, and it took them until the next morning after a full moon to finally spot signs of human habitation in the distance, amid a marshy, treeless landscape brimming with mosquitoes.

Meanwhile, ~250 years of continued expeditions approved by the Thinkers and mounted by various Awatute bands further expanded Awatute knowledge, especially beyond the lands of the Edegans.
