New Dawn is a name given to a major wave of migration from the Duls Settlements to the east in the second half of the second revolution. It is contrasted with the Dawn, which is what the eastern migrations in the middle of the first revolution are called. The peoples of Gantolia, Yammoe and Tarnaria are the descendants of the people of the Dawn.
New Dawn begins at around 15th CSR.
Route
The New Dawn route started at the Central Dantrian town of Purtule and went east to Tuntan, then from Tuntan turned north to the Duls Settlements.
The estimated length of the route is at 2300 km. But the reason for the Tuntan detour was to avoid the sand dunes at the north west part of Ouna, as well as be able to recuperate at Tuntan before embarking on the second leg of the journey.
Nevertheless, the route was dangerous and many people have perished on their way to Tuntan or on their way to Duls. One also had to have enough money to be able to stay at Tuntan. Poorer travelers would set up camp outside of the oasis and instead venture inside only to buy the most basic food and water supplies and spend an hour or two in the shade.
Duls Settlements
Main article: Duls Settlements
Duls Settlements would be the next stop for a New Dawn migrant. Featuring a hot semi-arid climate, Duls was a more forgiving region, but still very challenging. Frequently people would either build or occupy previously abandoned housing and spend the season, eventually moving along the desert border to the east, until they would reach Barzo.
