The Scattering was an event during Dragonhollow's Dark Age.
When Eris shockingly declared that the planet would henceforth be known as Wyvernhollow and only those people on the White List would be permitted to stay, her society underwent a massive upheaval.
Many citizens—and even well-known veterans—who found themselves excluded from entry fled across the stars to seek out other worlds. As Wyvernhollow itself became a totalitarian dystopia where minor infractions were punished by torture and banishment, even those on the List began to look elsewhere. 
Eris furthermore decreed that the wicked ones she had condemned eternally serve Grim in Tartaros would be forcibly expelled as well, not wanting the stain of their souls to mar her beloved home. This included the Dragonslayers and Bellicose Bill.
This great exodus was known as the Scattering. Some banded together to begin communities on Apex and Nyan. Others accepted the invitation of HyperSilence to join a refugee colony on Cabbage, the moon of Dragonhollow.
Not everyone abandoned Eris and took part in the Scattering. Some residents, such as Sprankles and Zerg, remained loyal and carved out a quiet life in the Summerlands.
On 4E:1, Eris brought about the end of her Dark Age by repealing the White List and inviting all of her former subjects to return from the Scattering and join her in the new white city of Summergate. When HyperSilence became the new Archpriest of Eris and shut down the colony on Cabbage, most of his residents returned to Dragonhollow with him.
Old veterans continued to trickle in throughout the Fourth Era but the community remained divided. Some, like Ozven, had permanently lost their faith in Eris. Others were appalled by her choice of a former Dragonslayer as Archpriest. 
A community of Dragonhollow exiles known as Astor thrived simultaneously during the Fourth Era on the planet Outsider, many preferring its simple pleasures and lazy life to the caustic culture and dangers of their old home. Nevertheless, the majority of those who had fled the planet eventually came back in the years that followed.
A second Scattering occurred after the Hegemon Retro announced the coming arrival of Nyx, the long-prophesied Eternal Night. With the end nigh, residents made plans to flee throughout the Void for worlds as varied as Sunshine, Printopia, and Enova. After Dragonhollow vanished from the known universe on 7E:120, these exiles stayed in touch using the faster-than-light communications network Discord.
