Marali liberation forces led by Evers and Mirith Vanguard were formed on a major scale. Marali was liberated from the domination of the Black Hand. The Twins absconded.
Marali was overwhelmed by the Black Hand. Now Alliance occupied all over Marali. The public of Marali had no other choice but deserted their city.
Elefin became one of the most powerful wizards in Oberin since the Blood Dagger had fallen into her hand. Her enormous power also posed a great threat to the Twins while she led the Black Hand. Rasha and Varsha appeared in front of adventurers who were ravaged by a long battle against Alliance. Rasha said that Elefin was currently a common target between the Twins and Mirith, so...
(Rasha): We know you have that box that is supposed to kill our enemy.
(Rasha): And we know how to bring the enemy to Mirith.
(Rasha): Only...
(Rasha): If we help you, you leave Marali alone.
(Rasha): Do you want our help or do you want to die here?
It was Darkstar who acted as a bridge between the Twins and Mirith. She also urged Mirith to call upon Seth for help. His art was needed with the Golden Box to deactivate the Blood Dagger.
Elefin Came to Mirith. Darkstar succeeded to steal the Blood Dagger from her, however, the cursed power of the dagger made Darkster lose her senses for a moment. She stubbed herself. With Seth's help the dagger was set in the Golden Box from Drakstar's chest, and Elefin was no longer given power from the Blood Dagger. She was killed.
Zexe's soul was releaved out of the Blood Dagger, and he returned to the world. The Golden Box was placed under the custody of Brigobean.
The force led by Mirith Vanguard stormed Andris, and rescued Birek.
Meanwhile, however, Mirith being lax on security was attacked by Alliance. There were also The Twins and Elefin seen among the aggressors. Duchess Tirana betrayed Mirith, and killed Beleth's daughter Araine. Serene who had been under Mirith's care was taken away by Elefin. After this, Beleth went missing for long periods.
The poison forges were destroyed by adventurers. Anon was also seen among these adventurers. Zexe faced off against the Twins, and received a serious injury.
(Date unknown: At this time Duchess Tirana was abducted by the Black Hand.)
Narrative from REDMAN: Death of Yadeth
"Mirith recieved a letter from Yadeth. The letter said about a hostage trade. We went to Port Gast, and it led to major combat. Yadeth was tough enemy. He summoned flood tide of Poison Elementals, Fire Elementals, and Air Elementals at once. While three times of summoning, he was gradually retiring to the sea. There, he summoned Sea Serpents, and we were cornered. At the very scene, Nita came forth. The Sea Serpents were put under the control of Nita, she killed Yadeth with them. At the moment, I never realized Tirana whom we rescued would turn to an enemy."
The king of Mhara told adventurers that they were suffuered by the poison forges, and also Nita was suffering serious illness. He declared to provide justice by death to humans.
