Or the same process that brought the elder races there removed the
last humans. Perhaps, like the Boat Raising, the process was the
conjunction of varying groups all working on their own thing, to the
same net effect. The Elder race groups found their refuge, the last
humans found theirs.
Of course, there are not records of strange humans showing up suddenly
around then that I can particularly think of. Then again, if it was a
small enough group it may not have been all that noticed. Or they
could be in Charg, still behind the ban. Well, OK, speaking of the
ban, there was one place that did magically appear somewhere in this
time period, that has very odd and expansionist tendencies, and its
extreme violence could be looked at as an extreme of
survivalism.....but I'm sure that would put a bold font on the V in YGWV.
