What was an expedition?
Tracing its history meant going back to the Blood Moon Sect's witch hunt in the First Era.
According to historical records, the Blood Moon Sect was the state religion of the Cosmog Dynasty's empire. It had used witch hunting as a pretext to attack and persecute heretics, bringing nearly a hundred years of turmoil to the continent.
