Zenzaburou barel makes it through before the portal collapsed, while Vesayen does not. They find themselves on a tropica island free of Olthoi. There, Zenzaburou and Vanten found the village of Kryst, centered around the principles of Jojii and the Code of Pwyll. They name the archipelago the Vesayen Isles in honor of their fallen leader.<ref>2010/06 [[Shifting Gears]] - [[Kryst (Town Network Sign)]]</ref><ref name=TheHistoryOfKryst>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[The History of Kryst]]</ref><ref name=TheHistoryOfVesayenIsles>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[The History of Vesayen Isles]]</ref>

Later, another group of enslaved Isparians, led by the the Aluvian cousins MacDugal and MacNiall, escape the Olthoi. After eluding the pursuing Olthoi, they come across an unstable portal. MacNiall wishes to enter it, while MacDugal is skeptical, reminding everyone that mysterious portals are the reason they were on Dereth and had been enslaved by the Olthoi. During the argument, they are found by the Olthoi. So the group breaks, some following MacNiall into the portal, and others following MacDugal into the foothills. MacNiall's band find themselves on the Vesayen Isles, and meet up with Zenzaburou Hensu and Vanten's refugees. The two groups live together for a time in Kryst, but MacNiall and his followers decide that they could no longer live with the traditionalists and so they trek deeper into the jungles, and eventually settle MacNiall's Freehold on a small, safe island.<ref>2010/06 [[Shifting Gears]] - [[Freehold (Town Network Sign)]]</ref><ref name=TheHistoryOfKryst/><ref name=TheHistoryOfVesayenIsles/>

The defeat of the Olthoi Queen on Marae Lassel comes to the attention of the Virindi.
