Mordard, the Necromancer, flaunted his stolen maiden in Stavenn. Bored of this, he took the girl to Khandava, but found their taste for such things only ran skin deep.

Cwincan finally heard of the fate of his beloved and went scouting, searching for her location and that of his wicked brother. The citizens of Kinsarmar contacted those of Antioch to see if an accord could be struck to search together.

After long looking, Cwincan returned with a plan to fight Stavenn face on, believing that his brother would relish such an obvious flaunting of power.

Galt strenuously objected to helping the Knight at all, saying that saving any Anti-Magicker was treason. Orotu pledged his sword, however, and many Kinsarmarians vowed to help. Cwincan himself contacted Laia in Antioch, begging her to work alongside them in pursuit of a common goal - saving Arawen, an Ashtear by birth and a believer in the Gods of Antioch. Laia declined, deciding that Antioch would work alone.

The group made their way to Stavenn and was met at the gate by Nael who sought at first to engage them in battle. This quickly changed as Alitis and Katalina conferred, deciding to give up Mordard. Mordard, having sensed something amiss through his use of dark powers, abandoned his treasure... for the moment.

Stavenn gave the girl up to the Kinsarmarian's outside their city and in no uncertain terms told them to leave.

Sharing their first embrace, Cwincan and Arawen blushed and returned to Kinsarmar with those who offered assistance where Galt made accusations of treason and Arawen and Cwincan now faced some very real choices of what to do with their lives.

Mordard, unhappy at losing his prize, sought to recapture her and for this paid with his life. No tears were shed upon his death.

Arawen, beaming with gratitude for those who risked their lives to save her and disturbed at the unyielding nature of her own citymates, decided to give up her life in Antioch and be with Cwincan. In doing so, she also stifled the talk of treason. Giving thanks once again, the united couple held hands for the first time and walked off to the garden by the west wall to make plans for their future.
