In 5767 an expedition led by Hālyanēṃṣi navigator Dēlenitī Chlærmitūvāvi ''Dēlendarhām'' was the first to reach Fárásen (''Kūdrivas'' in Chl.) and in 5798 another expedition, this time led by Takajñanti navigator Dalaigani Håniyāvi ''Hālyehulca'', working for the Lūlunimarti Republic, was the first to reach Ogúviutón (''Pašīrgamis''). Just a few dozenal decades later, in the East, the realm of Ehaliħombu financed various expeditions further east of the islands of Queáten (which had already been known for a few centuries), reaching the southeastern coast of Púríton (''Dhorāluka'') in the year 5831. | ||
The Age of Exploration was a radical milestone in Chlouvānem history; while cultural exchange wasn't particularly large because of the technological superiority of the Chlouvānem compared to natives of those territories (the exchange of crops was the most significant part of all of this), the knowledge of the existence of other territories aside from the Márusúturon-Védren-Evandor landmass was a huge change of perspective and, naturally, literary works of the time reflect all of this. | The Age of Exploration was a radical milestone in Chlouvānem history; while cultural exchange wasn't particularly large because of the technological superiority of the Chlouvānem compared to natives of those territories (the exchange of crops was the most significant part of all of this), the knowledge of the existence of other territories aside from the Márusúturon-Védren-Evandor landmass was a huge change of perspective and, naturally, literary works of the time reflect all of this. | ||
