The '''Tarman Expedition''' refers to the exodus of the [[dragons]] hatched near [[Cassarick]] and their journey upriver towards [[Kelsingra]].
[[Tintaglia]], the dragon, guided [[sea serpent|sea serpents]] to cocooning grounds nearby. The people of the [[Rain Wilds]] took care of the cocoons until they hatched. Because they couldn't hunt for themselves due to their age and short developmental period, the dragons were soon a burden on the Rain Wild society, as they couldn't keep up with the resource demand. The expedition was agreed upon by the [[Rain Wild Trader Council]] and a crew was assembled. There were different groups assigned to different tasks. [[Keepers]] volunteered to take care of dragons, hunters signed up to supply food, and [[Tarman]], the first [[liveship]] captained by [[Leftrin]], signed up to accompany them. The journey was joined by [[Alise Kincarron]] and [[Sedric Meldar]]; the former signed up as an [[elderling]], dragon, and Kelsingra expert and consultant, and the latter was her friend and companion.
The expedition reached their goal and started resettling Kelsingra and the area around the city.
