Successive mass migrations
of Vespids, Mantises, Mossbugs,
Moths and Butterflies cause
a domino effect that dislodges
the Jassids, Bees and Endemons,
though Endemons are able to retain
control of their homelads due to
the rise of the Cenáric Empire
Most Jorathine states are toppled
in the centuries-long instability
as the chitin-iron trade that sustained
most of Jorathine civilisation collapses
and is replaced by the oirán tradeBUÍDHAR ĈÁNNATE
