Just as Rhue's childhood memories are.
Yes, it does look like Rhue emerged only shortly before we first meet him, (standing at the top of a bluff, isn't it?). The fact that he had never plunged before was a early tipoff. It struck me as very odd that somebody who seemed so seriously invovolved in wandering and was a possible Forerunner (whatever that meant, but it sounded important) knew nothing about the plunge. Since he apparently possesses a sword with special plunge abilities, his ignorance is all the more remarkable in retrospect.
