Yellow River Expedition



The Yellow River Expedition was an expedition conducted between C.Y. 12 and C.Y. 13, to explore much of the present-day Taatiklarian portions of the Yellow River. It was an offshoot of the earlier Western Caravan, which charted much of present-day Ivory and Santiqua provinces in Taatiklatar, and founded the city of Santiqua on the Yellow River. The city was the jumping-off point for the expedition, which extended from the border with Nueva España (today the border between Santiqua province and Yume province) to the present-day border with Carre in the north. The cities of Casper, Plainsfield, Jackson and Erba, among others.

The expedition is infamous in Taatiklarian history for its fast pace (5 cypriot months) and for the lack of safety precautions and 3 deaths among its participants. The leader of the expedition, Ivan Price, who was once widely revered for his leadership in the Western Caravan, was widely criticized for his handling of the expedition and was charged with criminal negligence and sentenced to 2 cypriot years in prison. He escaped prison on 15 Anary, C.Y. 16, four months after his sentence began, and disappeared. Historians widely believe Price attempted to move into the at-the-time unsettled west of Susa and live off the land, but died of starvation or poisoning from a native Cypriot plant along the way; however, no remains have ever been found.
