Ruin's Gate 60: Out of the Ruin
Manage episode 477181520 series 1851506
When the first settlers left Earth for Antarras, they did so with the understanding that they would never see Earth again. Either their mission would be a grand success, and they’d make a new life for themselves on those distant shores, or the trip—and the attempt to establish a new home in alien lands—would kill them. An equal mix of refugees and dreamers, none of them even bothered to imagine that their children, or their grandchildren, would see Earth again: they were, after all, fleeing a planet on fire, daring to explore the unknown because it felt safer, somehow, than staying put. The intent had never been for there to be free and easy travel between the two—the journey, they knew, was arduous and expensive. And so the possibility of complete independence from Earth was a distant dream, but it was a dream all the same.
This week, on Ruin’s Gate: Final farewells.
