It’s even more interesting of a connection when you realize Shalash is Jezrien's daughter. So it’s possible they have some Selish ancestry, or at the very least some connection to the language of Sel or the names of the different Aons.

At one point we spot Galladon in disguise, and at another the lighthouse keeper in Shadesmar says “Merciful Domi!” So there are definitely connections.

Generally, when building massive ships for colonization and the moving of lots of people at once, the best way to do that is to assemble them in space.

And then transport people to the surface of the new planet a bit at a time.
