Do we have any idea when the day of recreance occured? The wiki only lists it as happening prior to the Heirocracy. I'm asking because in Eshonai's interludes she refers at least twice to the time when The Listners escaped Odium as "centuries ago" given the last desolation was 4500 it seems unlikely that was when The Last Legion broke free. The only major event I can think of that could have happened centuries ago is The Recreance so I'm wondering if there is a connection there, I can maybe see the KR doing what they did if it offered an entire race a chance at freedom, hell some orders like the windrunners could be looking at a conflict of oaths either way.
Of course everyone is talking about the Recreance as happening shortly after the final desolation which would screw with this theory quite a lot. So I'm wondering if I missed something.
