In their exodus from Desolation, humans passed through Neshu, Minotaur, and Tengu territories. It was the Tengu who led humans to the mountain pass that would take them out of Raviq. On the other side of the pass, the exodus entered a valley populated by enigmatic spirit folk--a race relatively new to Dragon Island. The spirit folk knew of the HMDJVNW, and recognized the Taint in the humans that fled those great old ones.
