Khepri

The Khepri expeditions were expeditions of the TOWER. Their mission goal was to investigate a planar anomaly on Rhino detected in 1498. They sent off their first Skipjammer, Khepri I, in 1508, and their second supply ship Khepri II in 1512.
Khepri and Thay communicated via powerful Sending spells allowing them to use longer messages. These were only castable by some of the specialist mages brought along.
Khepri I contained around a thousand colonists in slumber via the Imprisonment spell, bright minds to set up the base of New Amkhemar on Rhino at about 50° S, 10° W in the Sea of Burgundy. Khepri I arrived in 1515 and the base was set up within the year, but by late 1516, the Sending stopped. 
Khepri II was sent off in 1512, intending to provide a supply of livestock, seeds, and materials. As such, it only contained about fifty crew and a few passengers. 
Khepri II arrived in 1518, two years after New Amkhemar went dark. They were the only ones able to investigate without waiting 6-8 more years.
