Manapunk Exile

Our world is isolated. Cut off from the larger community of worlds known as the world-web. Not because of some grand conspiracy, but from our own choice to do so. We would rather isolate ourselves and preserve our community than be diluted into something larger.

We do send out the occasional person. The occasionaltribute. Though, we call it exile. Banishment from our community for an appropriately severe crime. Wemustdo so because our traditional method of exile doesn't work on our densely populated planet, and we must because it protects us from the world-web.

So what then, if someonewantedto leave? What if they wanted tofollowanother exile? How would they find them in the massive world-web? Whatelsewould they find? And what would find them?
