Yes.
Shiprise occurs in 1624. In Sartar Burning, the Dragons Return (the 2nd
book of the Dragon Pass Hero Wars scenarios) your characters get a chance
to be on it. But after it reappears the Closing disappears. However, it
takes several years for people to actually figure it out. No one
voluntarily goes to sea without Dormal's blessing, and hence discovering
it's not necessary is accidental at first.

This is so.
It is one of the reasons that really old traditions remain in force, such
as a stone age military unit being kept in the modern Dara Happan army.
They have been maintaining a continual tradition since then, accumulating
energy and powers as long as they keep within the primal rules, practices
etc.
