| Reasons for the Dawn are unknown. In addition to that, the development of several original languages, religions and cultures of the migrants provides an anthropological mystery: these cultures ended up having little in common with one another, while the expectation is that migrants from Western Dantria would have a relatively common cultural background. For instance, [[Lolion]], which was the main religion in Dantria, seemed to be virtually unknown to the Dawn settlers. Instead, Lolion was later exported by its monks through [[Gantolia]] almost 10 centuries later. | | Reasons for the Dawn are unknown.

− | This could be explained by the supposed extreme diversity of population of Dantria, and possibly the coexistence of many languages and religions, although it begs the question of what prompted such different peoples to embark on a dangerous and faraway journey. Hypotheses include famine, war, disease and cultural prosecution, but none of these ideas explain features of the Dawn to full satisfaction. Surviving Dantrian documents, although few, reveal nothing of importance happening at the time of the Dawn. For instance, there is a historic treatise written by an unknown author from [[Walneer]] that dates its account to the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th [[CFR]]. It talks about some of the important events of the previous decades, but none of them feature anything that would prompt a massive migration. | + | This could be explained by the supposed extreme diversity of the population of Dantria, and possibly the coexistence of many languages and religions, although it begs the question of what prompted such different peoples to embark on a dangerous and faraway journey.
