#### Great Exodus \- 1010 {#great-exodus---1010}

After so many centruries of conflict and disaster and little hope that the Guardians would return to restore order, [dark elves](/wiki/bicolline/species/dark-elves/) decided to leave the central lands.  The High Sages of [Morak An Graef](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-dauquesse/tolimarth-morak-an-graef/) and Tolimarth called upon their people for a total exodus from [Nasgaroth](/wiki/bicolline/regions/nasgaroth/). Tens of thousands of dark elves marched towards the [Tolternoth portal](/wiki/bicolline/regions/nasgaroth/harganeth/tolternoth/) towards the promise of a new world.

While many were not sad to see them go, many were concerned about the portal to the Abyss of Tolternoth, which would be left unguarded after the last dark elf went through. The [elves](/wiki/bicolline/species/elves/) of [Irendille](/wiki/bicolline/regions/irendille/) wished to close the portal where as the Three Crowns Alliance ([Haldorf](/wiki/bicolline/regions/federation-argannaise/haldorf/), [Arganne](/wiki/bicolline/regions/federation-argannaise/arganne/) and [Kafe](/wiki/bicolline/regions/pays-de-kafe/)) wished to take control of it. The Three Crowns were victorious and prevented Irendille from closing the portal.

 The Queen  
Akilam, with her Seringot armies, was the first to leave the ancestral lands for Tolternoth.  
The entire fleets of Sudd andAnd it is now up to Grand Matron Isaaracneida and Lord Syrtar the Dark to pass on the “legacy”. And it is to those who remained in Nasgaroth, the latter  
representatives of the race remaining in the central lands, that it will be handed over. 3 militias are demobilized.
