When Messo’s surviving refugees landed at Paradise Bay, they thought they had found a long-term home. It had good weather, good soil, plenty of lumber and fishing, and it was geographically isolated from other settlements. The indigenous Cendomvitans, however warned them that the volcanic Ashen Peninsula on which the Bay was located, however, was not a safe place to live. Messo led most of his refugees further north. He lost contact with the ones that remained only later to find their settlement covered in volcanic ash.
Thousands of years later, The message Elgyon interpreted from the artifacts was that the Exiles needed to flee to Paradise Bay for safety. When they arrived, their first impression was the same as that of Messo’s refugees. The bay was surrounded by a broad, flat valley with snow-caped, but smoking mountain peaks backing it to the east. The bay seemed to live up to his name. Elgyon, having found the sixth artifact discovered that Paradise Bay was not a destination, but yet another stop on the way to safety.
