It is a personal descision.
It could be Ife the character, perhaps her pregnancy was the sort that required her to be in a remote pavilion/camp location. Kind of refer to her in the distance. Perhaps the Pirate raid made some move away from Endrykas and some Ankals felt it prudent to break up into smaller camps instead of the huge moving target of Endrykas. (even though historically it was always difficult to find without a guide)
If the retirement is permanent (which appears to be an unknown. unless you happen to have another communication source with the writer to verify this) where you could do a story arc where the marriage was found to be unsuitable and they went their separate ways by agreement. If she comes back, the flames could reignite and happy days.
These are a couple of suggestions, Prophet may have other suggestions and our esteemed writers in endrykas may have other suggestions also.
