''Going South'' takes place on [[Altronis]] in the Fourth Age, and one of its chapters features [[Andrei Ransom]]. It also introduces the [[Divine Wind]], and some alternative names for the [[Pendragon]] and [[Slayer Dragons]].

			====In-universe Legacy====
			In-universe, the adventure's principal importance was to serve as an index-case of the governance of newly-liberated worlds. During [[The Corporate Era]], Altronis' governments became almost completely powerless, and even after the end of the [[corpocracy]], most serious matters involved the [[Alliance]], and some the [[Foundation]]. It was for this reason [[A.E. Clipson]] and [[Nathan Ransom]] consulted [[Andrei Ransom]] for help against the [[Dark Order]]. Although Andrei was Nathan's grandfather and [[Pendragon]] of [[Slayer Dragons]], giving this help meant a vote of the Alliance Council, permission from the Foundation to use the [[GATE]], and travel rescripts from all the local authorities, so it was nearly two months, Altronis time (though only a few days, [[Arindell]] time), before re-inforcements arrived to arrest [[Elias Grimshaw]] and his followers.

			In the event, the Grimshaws caused a diversion and escaped, but re-appeared before court to plead their innocence, on grounds that they were still free under one of the several overlapping jurisdictions, and had committed no legal crime under any. They were ultimately found guilty, and the question arose of how to punish them. As the Dark Order were mostly Necromancers the death penalty was not possible to enforce, and life imprisonment had fallen out of favor, as too expensive. Therefore the court, advised by both Alliance and Foundation, turned the guilty parties over to the [[Green Temple]], who placed them in suspended animation for a century or more and trained a lineage of heroes to fight and destroy them when they returned to life.
