Looks like they just left!

Looks like only a few turned out to see the group off. It used to be that the entire mountainhome would come up to the gates for the occasion, but it's become so common place that it's barely registered as a holiday any more. This is the only way out...if you don't hurry, you won't be able to catch up to the migrant party and it'll be another whole year before you can leave!
