Four days after having sent Raul to find the Consul's Ship, when the last people of Taliesin West had left Old Earth, Aenea and A. Bettik farcast away to Ixion, the first destination of a long journey. During the next five years, she travels to many different worlds where she performs architecture works and starts teaching circles.[2] When Aenea leaves a world, many of her students farcast also away to other worlds, with the aim of spreading the Aenea's Teachings and her DNA Sacrament.

# Planet Duration Events
1 Old Earth 4 years Aenea is twelve when she arrives at Old Earth. During four years, she is mentored by the Old Architect who teaches her the architecture arts. At sixteen, the Old Architect dies and the Taliesin West community splits up and they farcast away from Old Earth.
2 Ixion 5 months Aenea, accompanied by A. Bettik, heads up the reconstruction efforts in the old Ixion cities of Canbar, Iliumut, and Maoville. She starts her first series of "discussion circles" that bring listeners in from a dozen of warring tribes.
3 Maui-Covenant 3 months Aenea and A. Bettik steps through to a motile isle still belonging to the Sirist rebels. She studies how to build treehouses from the best treehouse builders in human space. There, she also befriends Theo Bernard, a direct descendant of Theo Lane, who accompanies Aenea during all her following travels.
4 Renaissance Vector 6 months Aenea works on the new Christian cathedral "St. Matthew's" in the city of Da Vinci. She labors with the best stonemasons, glass workers, builders, and craftsmen in this business. She was an apprentice first, but before she leaves this world, she has ended as an assistant to the chief designer working on the nave. On Renaissance Vector, her famous discussion circles gathered thousands of students.
5 Patawpha 3 months Aenea uses her treehouse experience to build mansions in the interwoven branches and trunks growing from the endless swamps there.

7 Groombridge Dyson D 6 months Aenea and her friends (A. Bettik, Theo and Rachel) joined the Great Wall project, the construction of a wall more than five thousand kilometers long that would separate the wilder sections of the savage highlands from the horse-herd savannahs and evolving cyclad forests to the south. The wall was to be more than a wall, it was to become the great linear city of Groombridge Dyson D, thirty meters tall at its lowest, its ramparts resplendent with mosques and minarets, the travelway on top wide enough that three chariots could pass without rubbing wheels. On this world, A. Bettik found two of his crèche siblings: his brother A. Antibbe and his sister A. Darria.
8 ??? 23 months, 1 week, 6 hours During their journey on Groombridge Dyson D, Aenea leaves her friends there for a period of time while she goes on a lonely voyage to a location only revealed at the end of The Rise of Endymion novel.
