+Exact reasons for the Dawn are unknown and some of its aspects constitute an anthropological mystery. Specifically, migration resulted in the development of several original languages, religions and cultures which, as far as we know, have little in common with the civilization of Western Dantria.
-In addition to that, the development of several original languages, religions and cultures is not entirely expected either: 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.

Instead, Lolion was later exported by monks through [[Gantolia]] almost 10 centuries later.

 In contrast, the migrants of the [[New Dawn]] clearly had a common cultural background, spoke a closely related set of [[Thonthal]]-like languages and articulated reasons for their migration in a number of writings.

This, in turn, was centuries after the beginning of the Dawn and the focus of authors like [[Porteek]] and [[Ludoh]] was on Tarnaria and its immediate neighbors. Finally, the subsequent emergence of [[Stogen]] led to the destruction of written documents in Tarnaria, further shattering the historical record.

 Although the settlement of Tarnaria is the result of the third wave of migration, eventually the whole phenomenon began to be referred to as the Dawn.

-Researchers typically differentiate between the three waves of migration. These are not necessarily chronological, but designate the main migration streams that ended up resulting in very different countries, cultures, languages and religions.
+Researchers typically differentiate between three waves of migration. Very early on, historians began to refer to these as first, second and third waves, which is misleading as the waves are not meant to be chronological and instead designate the main migration streams that ended up resulting in very different countries, cultures, languages and religions. In modern sources, the waves are referred to as the Gantolian wave, the Loodorian wave and the Asdohn wave. However, numerical monikers still dominate popular references to the Dawn.
 The first wave has populated Gantolia and Yammoe. The second wave resulted in Loodori, and later Ybuwyn. The third wave established the [[State of Asdoh]], [[Toor]] and possibly [[Dlos]]. The latter is sometimes considered the fourth wave of Dawn.
