Kroykah is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology of fiction, poems, and articles.

The title is the Vulcan word for the most emphatic "cease and desist" command of the Vulcan language, or "stop!"

From a 1976 Ad

All literary efforts and inquiries must be sent to Vance Daugherty [...] And please: with all communications to Vance or Kathi, enclose a SASE -- it will help a lot.

From the article:

It is quite evident that the "break up occurred in the Pre-logic Era, since records were not avidly kept in that time period and no material can "be located that is an actual account of the disconnection.

So, during the lengthy period of time this group must have moved; it happened rather rapidly and not in a stretch of years, historians (even if inaccurate and sparse) would have noticed it otherwise. It is also logical to assume the wars were a cause of it, perhaps the major cause. Since, the people would be concerned with only the war effort and not a group who decided they would rather start anew on a new system. This also can "be explained several other ways, but they all seem to stress on this: The rest of Vulcan was either too occupied or not concerned about the fate of a few malcontents.
