With D'Mir destroyed, Shar'Vaire in chaos and horrific infernal fiends and undead roaming the magic-wasted land at will, the Voraath had no choice but to flee. To the south they knew they would encounter resistance from the Shar'Vaire and getting to the West where Elves were told to be, as well as a possible kind hand in the Quar'Vess was too risky. There was simply too few of them left to risk Shar'Vaire who still had some Airships and still wielded terrible magic, despite the decimation of their population.
The Voraath chose the North then. The cold was of little bother to their durable bodies and the further north they went, the more likely they would not be pursued by Airships since the cold makes them more difficult to fly effectively. The road was still fraught with hardship and fighting with Shar'Vaire survivors and random demons and undead roaming at will, unchecked. Still, as hardy as they were as a people, the Voraath finally made it to the northern shores of Tal'rah.
As fortune would have it, the Voraath refuges ran across Elvish vessels that had been running the northern coast to supply the town of Edgewood which was dangerously close to the Shar'Vaire cataclysm. A deal was struck and the Elves assisted the Voraath to land on the northern continent of Zoda. Largely a forgotten land (because as a whole, the Shar'Vaire hate cold climate) the Voraath chose to settle here, away from the troubles of Tal'rah and their former masters.
It was here that the Voraath settled and took to a nomadic lifestyle in the cold steppe and mountains of Zoda. Having lived all their lives huddled up in caves or pens, these people wanted nothing more than to live out their days under the northern stars and breath the cold air of freedom.
The Voraath found food bountiful in these untamed lands, when they finally taught themselves how to properly hunt. Fishing with spears was commonplace as was chasing down and killing the wild mammoths and other beasts that could provide food, clothing and weaponry. This marked the beginning of the first Voraath tribes.
