Generation 19: The Divine Knights (Spoilers)

Avelin is initially encountered by the Milletian in Sidhe Sneachta, where she is conversing with Altam, her unit member. Avelin cautions Altam about the punishment he could face due to his involvement with the Milletian. Upon discovering that the Milletian has already taken up Altam's offer to assist their organization, however, Avelin expresses disapproval towards the situation. Avelin then introduces herself to the Milletian as Altam's commanding officer. She further apologizes, informing the Milletian that the task she and Altam are dealing meant to be dealt with by the two of them only. When asked about the monsters the knights are facing, Avelin tells the Milletian that there are none, but suggests for the townsfolk to lock their doors. Shortly afterwards, Avelin and Altam leave to privately discuss something.

Eventually, Avelin and Altam return to Sidhe Sneachta to assist the Milletian in defeating Girgashiy. Once it is defeated, Pennar briefly appears and attacks the Milletian, prompting the knights to rush to the Milletian's side. When asked about Girgashiy, Avelin reveals to the Milletian that the monster was once human, however its form was twisted due to energy from another world. She further points out that all its humans traces were burned out, resulting in it becoming a puppet. When the Milletian asks her about Pennar, Avelin informs them that he is responsible for creating creatures such as Girgashiy; he worships a foul god; and he works in a group that the knights believe is being controlled. Finally, when asked about the organization she works for, Avelin tells the Milletian that the organization is working to keep the world safe. Avelin then advises the Milletian not to tell anyone about what they witnessed or discussed, otherwise she will be forced to act against them. Before she and Altam leave, Avelin additionally warns the Milletian to not show mercy to creatures like Girgashiy.

Later, in Gairech Hill outside of Bangor, Avelin cautions the Milletian to stop seeking out the Alban Knights, as their organization operates in secret. To emphasize this, she informs the Milletian that her superiors accused Altam of betrayal for seeking their help. Avelin then mentions that the knights' mission will soon require them to operate openly, however until then, harsh punishment is issued to those who disobey the rules. As such, she asks the Milletian to respect the knights' desire to remain incognito until she and Altam are allowed to reveal themselves to the outside world.

Immediately afterwards, Avelin and the Milletian hear a sudden fit of laughter belonging to Brilluen. Once Brilluen reveals herself, she summons Girgashiy. Avelin and the Milletian are then left to fight against it. During the battle, Avelin tells the Milletian that it is necessary to break the enemy's defenses, just as Altam had. However, since Altam is not present, Avelin says that they both must escape instead. Talvish then arrives, having heard Avelin's instructions to the Milletian. Avelin urges Talvish to help them slay the Apostle before Brilluen escapes. Avelin, Talvish, and the Milletian then defeat Girgashiy.

Following the battle, Avelin asks Talvish why he is present, and if there is any news about Altam. Talvish then informs her that their superiors are carefully considering their case, further advising Avelin to trust their judgment. Avelin is subsequently taken by surprise when Talvish asks the Milletian to join the Alban Knights.

Later, Avelin, Talvish and the Milletian reconnect at the Emain Macha Assembly Area. When the Milletian attempts to speak to Avelin, she despairs over the notion that she left Altam to wander off on his own. She further claims that he was under her protection, yet she failed him.

When Avelin arrives with Talvish in Abb Neagh to meet the Milletian, Avelin asks the Milletian for new intel. Upon learning that Pennar fled, Avelin concludes that he is planning something, as it is unlike Pennar to flee from battle. Avelin and Talvish then propose their opposing views on how to handle the situation. When Avelin suggests moving the Bard Camp residents to a safer location instead, Talvish argues that these actions would waste time, plus Pennar could potentially attack the location the residents are moved to. The two knights then ultimately decide to go with Talvish's plan.

As Talvish, Avelin, and the Milletian search for Pennar, they discover more mutated creatures to defeat. Avelin soon dismisses Talvish's proposed idea of leaving in an attempt to draw Pennar out. The group then conducts more searching, defeating more mutated creatures along the way. Eventually, Talvish and Avelin ponder whether Pennar planned an escape route rather than a trap. However, they find Pennar nearby.

Once Pennar unleashes Girgashiy, the knights and the Milletian engage in battle with it. After Girgashiy's defeat, Avelin and Talvish request the Milletian to chase down Pennar as he heads west.

When the Milletian returns to Talvish and Avelin, Avelin apologizes for not having been with them when the Prophets contaminated them. Once the subject is changed to Altam's probation, Talvish suggests for he and Avelin to return with Altam. Avelin then instructs Talvish to ensure that the inhabitants of the Bard Camp are safe and to inform command about the Milletian's condition afterwards. In addition to this, she instructs the Milletian to head to the Healer's House and rest at the inn to heal, as their group of three will be no good while the Milletian is injured. Moreover, she states that she has experienced what it is like to work with a group with an injured member and will not have it happen again. Finally, Avelin dismisses Talvish and the Milletian, then takes her leave.

Sometime afterwards, Avelin and Altam arrive in Tara while the Milletian is attempting to protect the Tara Watchmen from mutated bears. Avelin questions why the Milletian is not resting as she previously instructed. Furthermore, she points out that the Milletian cannot be useful since they lost their powers. Altam informs Avelin that the watchmen can hear her, causing her to apologize to the Milletian. Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian then move to a quieter spot. There, Avelin apologizes to the Milletian again, saying that she initially assumed they were a "glory-monger" enjoying their eternal life due to how often Altam praised them. However, she was glad to learn this was not true. Avelin then informs the Milletian that they were given permission to enter the Cave of Remorse in Corrib Valley. The group then decides to reconvene there.

After the Milletian exits the cave, Avelin reveals that she tracked the enemy to Taillteann. She then tells the Milletian that they will meet outside of the city walls of northwestern Taillteann.

Upon arriving at the location, Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian hunt a complete version of Girgashiy. During the battle, Avelin is knocked down by a strike from Girgashiy. However, she recovers thanks to the Milletian's Shield of Trust. She then affirms that the Milletian is truly an Alban Knight, further signaling the group to destroy the Apostle together.

After Girgashiy's defeat, Avelin points out that the enemy was more powerful than she expected. She then instructs Altam and the Milletian to rest, as they will have to directly face the Prophets from here on.

Later, Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian meet at Morva Aisle. Avelin informs the Milletian that the knights had been tracking the Prophets at center of Uladh, however the Prophets were actually hiding in the south. She then tells the Milletian that their group will form the vanguard while other squads circle around the Prophets.

Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian then move further into Port Ceann, where they encounter another Girgashiy. Upon the Apostle's defeat, the Prophets appear, leading to another battle. After the fight, the knights learn that the Prophets intend to head to Rath Royal Castle to target Eirawen. The knights then leave Eirawen's safety to the Milletian once all of the knights' powers are transferred to them.

Once Eirawen is saved, Altam, Avelin, and Talvish meet the Milletian in the Emain Macha Assembly Area. Avelin informs the Milletian that the situation is calm for the time being. Moreover, she reveals that the Arthuan Unit is expecting a new recruit, but she has heard rumors suggesting they may be worse than Altam. Avelin affirms that the Milletian was helpful to the knights' cause, then tells them to stay safe until they meet again.

Shortly afterwards, Avelin, although initially unwilling, recites the motto of the Alban Knights' Organization together with Altam and Talvish.

Generation 20: The Gate of Sanctuary (Spoilers)

Suspecting the Prophets to be around, Avelin appears at the Graveyard in Taillteann with Altam following the Milletian's discovery of a corpse with a glowing, golden aura. Upon confronting the Prophets, however, Brilluen, Pennar, and Marcan take their leave. Avelin then reminds Altam of their mission after small talk with the Milletian. Knowing that the Prophets seek an abundant supply of corpses, Avelin deduces that it would be best to search the other graveyards in Uladh, starting with Tir Chonaill's first.

Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian head to the graveyard in Tir Chonaill, searching for the Prophets. However, after Avelin explains that their search was unsuccessful, she suggests staying in the town until nightfall in case something turns up. She asks the Milletian to keep on the lookout, then senses something coming from the graveyard. When the group discovers Reanimated Corpses, Avelin explains that the Prophets may have used their Unholy Light to revive them. Avelin then informs the group that it is necessary to eliminate the corpses since they have already become tools for the Prophets.

Soon, Avelin, Altam, and Milletian find themselves completely surrounded by the Reanimated Corpses. Avelin suggests that the Prophets had to know they would go to Tir Chonaill's graveyard, then considers the possibility of the trap being of Brilluen's work. The group is once again left with no choice but to defeat the corpses. After the fight, Avelin claims that she collected minerals from the corpses, further suggesting that clues may be found through studying them. Avelin then tells Altam and the Milletian that she intends to submit of report of the incident in the graveyard. She directs the others to rest and remain in Tir Chonaill while she is away.

Sometime later, Avelin returns, informing Altam and the Milletian that another case of the golden aura appeared near the Qilla Base Camp. She suggests to leave Tir Chonaill once the others are ready. When the group arrives at Qilla Base Camp, Avelin points out that she can sense the Prophets' traces. Questioning how it is that the Prophets are always ahead, Avelin also orders the Milletian to remain on guard with Altam while she investigates the area. Unfortunately for the group, Reanimated Corpses appear, leaving Avelin to deduce that it must be the work of Brilluen. Altam then questions the possibility of the Prophets killing people to turn them into the corpses due to the lack of graveyards in the area. Avelin considers this idea, ultimately dismissing the Prophets as "nothing but unruly Fomors." She then points out that the corpses outside of the Qilla Base Camp are different from the ones in Uladh, warning Altam and the Milletian to be careful when defeating them.

Following the defeat of the Reanimated Corpses, Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian decide to take a small break. Avelin eventually decides that the group must continue investigating, asking Altam and the Milletian to take turns standing watch. However, the group grows alert, with Avelin commanding the others to step aside. An Apostle-like creature suddenly appears, initially confusing Avelin. She then tells the Milletian to prepare the defenses, while Altam must prepare the binding. After the two perform the desired actions, Avelin uses Judgment Blade on the creature. Much to her dismay, the group's efforts are in vain. As a last resort, she informs Altam and the Milletian that they must lure the Apostle west and away from the camp. The group splits to take different directions. However, they discover that an impenetrable barrier is in place, preventing them from moving further.

Soon, the group discovers a weak point in the barrier existing behind the Apostle. Avelin then tells the Milletian to escape with Altam while she distracts the Apostle. Altam expresses concern for Avelin, which Avelin gives him credit for, however she also orders him once more to leave. Furthermore, Avelin tells the Milletian to keep Altam out of trouble.

After Talvish shows up and chases away Marcan, who had been controlling the Apostle-like creature, Talvish explains that the Apostles can be stopped by attacking the Prophets if the Prophets are nearby. Avelin, on the other hand, points out that the attacks and Crusader Skills used by Altam, the Milletian, and herself had no effect on the Apostle. Talvish then ties together the events that occurred up to that point before suggesting to track down the Apostle. In response, Avelin asserts that the Arthuan Unit does not require the help of the Elved Unit. However, Talvish informs her that their mission will not be easy, even with the Milletian's assistance. After the two go back and forth regarding the Milletian's role in assisting the Alban Knights, Talvish ultimately informs the group that he intends to consult the Commander to ensure the Arthuan Unit has authorization to carry out the mission. Moreover, he tells the others that he will be free to accompany them on the mission.

Eventually, the Milletian uses the necklace to view a memory of the Elder and his knights protecting the Avalon Gate from Heretics. The Milletian then shares this information with Avelin and Talvish. When Avelin asks to lend the necklace from the Milletian, the Milletian refuses, prompting Avelin to explain that memories pertaining to the past Alban Knights are vital to their group. Talvish defends the Milletian's choice, then politely asks them if the necklace can be used by the knights. Once the necklace is tried by Avelin and Talvish, however, nothing happens. Talvish then concludes that he must consult the Commander about the necklace.

Afterwards, Talvish suggests for the group to head to the ruins of the Alban Knights. Avelin protests, stating that they must find the Prophets. However, Talvish informs her that Brilluen and Pennar are already heading to Belvast. He then reminds the group that he must consult the Commander and leaves Once Avelin shares her thoughts about Talvish to Altam and the Milletian, she tells them to finish up their work at the Qilla Base Camp and then head for Belvast.

After Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian arrive in Belvast, the Milletian asks Avelin about the path leading to the Avalon Gate. Avelin explains to them that most passersby do not notice the existence of the path between the cliffs because the Divine Light flowing through tricks them into believing nothing is there. Avelin further explains that if someone were to venture down the path, they would only wind up back at the entrance. She claims that the same would apply to the Prophets as well.

When the group enters the area, Altam questions the possibility of the Prophets being in the ruins as well. This prompts the Milletian to explain their memory of the Elder and the previous Alban Knights fighting off the Heretics within the area. Avelin suggests that they cannot make assumptions just yet. However, she suddenly begins to sense traces of Unholy Light, throwing her into disarray. The group is then left with no choice but to defeat the Crystal Boars, Crystal Wolves, and Crystal Bears that are present.

As they move further in, Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian notice Brilluen and Pennar. As Avelin asks Brilluen how the Prophets were able to enter the ruins, Brilluen only taunts her. The group then engages the Prophets in battle.

After the fight, the Prophets escape, adding to Avelin and Altam's confusion. Avelin then suggests to keep moving. Upon moving closer to the Avalon Gate, Avelin examines the surroundings, questioning what the Prophets were doing and how they were able to enter the area. Altam then expresses that the Apostle from before, the Elder's necklace, and the fact that the Prophets made it to the Avalon Gate is too much to handle. Avelin tells him that they will talk about it when Talvish arrives.

Once Talvish arrives at the Alban Knights' ruins, Altam fills him in on the details. Talvish suggests the possibility of the Prophets invading the area prior to the knights encountering them. He then tells them that he will report the new information to the Commander. Moreover, he tells the others that the Commander considered the situation serious enough that all of the generals should join the Arthuan Unit in its mission. After a bit of consideration towards the idea, Talvish then tells everyone to head to the Emain Macha Assembly Area, where Caswyn and Pihne are soon expected to arrive. When Avelin suggests stationing knights to protect the people, Talvish responds to her by saying that the knights of Baltane are needed to watch over Avalon Gate.

After the Milletian convinces Talvish to allow Altam to tag along on the dangerous mission, much to Avelin's chagrin, the group heads to the Emain Macha Assembly Area. There, the knights and the Milletian wait for Pihne, who eventually shows up. Avelin and Pihne initially engage in conversation, discussing the recent events that occurred. Suddenly, an ambush of Reanimated Corpses appears and attempts to strike Altam, however Pihne uses Lightning Rod before any damage is done. The knights and the Milletian then find themselves surrounded by more corpses, leaving the group no choice but to fend them off.

After the Reanimated Corpses are cleared, the knights notice that Caswyn, the leader of the Heruin unit, still has yet to arrive. Pihne suggests waiting for him, but the knights realize that he is more than late. It is then by Pihne suggested that the knights and the Milletian head to the a will to the west of Taillteann to find him.

The group heads to the hill west of Taillteann, but find that Caswyn is still not present. Avelin questions whether they truly need Caswyn for the mission, only to be told by Talvish that their team must function as a whole. The group then splits up to find him, with Altam and Avelin heading east.

Once Caswyn is found by the Milletian, Avelin questions and criticizes him, however her words do not reach him, prompting Pihne to take over. Talvish then carries over the conversation to address the pressing matter at hand: tracking and defeating the Prophets. Avelin then decides that Altam can come along after she is convinced by the others' responses. The group is then given the name "Celestial Six" by Altam before heading to Cor Village.

In Cor Village, Pihne is able to gather intel and deduce that the Apostles will likely return by nightfall. Talvish suggests they all remain in the area until then. Afterwards, Caswyn points out that something is strange without specifying what, causing Avelin to question why he is pessimistic all the time. Pihne reassures Avelin that Caswyn is reliable despite his cold nature. The Celestial Six then wait until midnight for the possible attack.

At midnight, Altam and Talvish split from the group to search for any Prophets in the area. Pihne, Avelin, Caswyn, and the Milletian are left to engage Zebach, however their attacks are not effective against it. Caswyn points out that the damage from their attacks is being negated by the Apostle, however the knights' Divine Light is not affected. He further suggests that they all combine their Divine Light with their attacks in order to make progress. Even so, Caswyn decides to handle the Apostle himself. Upon the Apostle's defeat, Altam and Talvish return and the group takes a break.

Once the Milletian discovers the location where the Arthuan Shard is sealed through the use of the Elder's necklace, the Celestial Six head to Lunae Valley. There, Pihne points out that the altar is not present, prompting Caswyn to suggest for Avelin to use up all of her Divine Light. Concern is expressed for Avelin by some of the knights. However, Avelin agrees and carries out the task, causing the altar to reveal itself. The Prophets also show up with the intent of stealing the Arthuan Shard. A brief fight occurs between the knights and the Reanimated corpses with Zebach before the Prophets escape.

Pihne searches the altar but is unable to find the Arthuan Shard, leaving her to guess that it has fallen into the Prophets' hands. The Celestial Six then discuss the strong probability of the Prophets intent to pass beyond the Avalon Gate and find the Elder's body. With this information, they decide on a plan to reclaim the Arthuan Shard from the Prophets and find the remaining three shards. The group subsequently splits to allow the Milletian, Avelin, and Caswyn to rest at the Hot Springs, while Pihne, Altam, and Talvish hunt for the Prophets.

The knights move out to seek the Heruin Shard at Port Ceann next. When they move deeper into the beach, the knights find that Caswyn is not there. Avelin criticizes Caswyn, but Talvish suggests to secure the perimeter of the area while they await his return. Pihne, on the other hand, reassures Avelin by telling her that she believes that Caswyn is not too far from the area. Caswyn eventually appears along with the altar. He secures the Heruin Shard and indicates that he modified the altar's security device into a trap, which successfully catches Brilluen and Pennar.

Unfortunately for the knights, Marcan appears with a more powerful version of Zebach. The Celestial Six and the Milletian are left to defeat it while the Prophets escape. At the conclusion of the battle, Pihne suggests that the new Apostles brought by the Prophets could be a sign of the Prophets' desperation to obtain the shards. Avelin then berates Caswyn for his actions, leading Pihne to have a private talk with Avelin.

Soon, Altam questions the possibility of a traitor existing amongst the group. Avelin tells him not to spout nonsense, while Pihne reassures him by stating that none of them would dare to work alongside the Prophets. Contrarily, Caswyn suggests to investigate Altam's theory anyway. This causes Talvish to urge the Celestial Six to think rationally. He states that pursuing the Prophets is necessary if the knights want answers, but he also considers the possibility as well, much to Avelin's dismay. Talvish then asks the Milletian for their thoughts. When the Milletian states that they are the traitor, the knights are thrown into disarray. However, Talvish indicates that this cannot be so; the Alban Knights would have known since there is constant surveillance on the Milletian.

The Celestial Six then have a moment of rest. When Talvish asks the Milletian to cook for the knights, Avelin is strongly against the idea, stating that the Alban Knights follow a strict diet. The others do not share her sentiment, however. The knights then split into teams of two to gather ingredients. Avelin and the Milletian work to gather red, blue, and white crabs along the beach. Once all the ingredients are gathered, the group enjoy a meal cooked by the Milletian.

Sometime later, Altam suggests hiding the Heruin Shard in a place safe from the Prophets. However, they discover that the Prophets were already in the area, watching the group from the cliff. The Prophets disappear when the knights raise their guard. The knights question this, but soon find themselves caught in a trap set by the Prophets. The Black Wizard then appears with the Heruin Shard in his possession, taunting the group before he leaves.

The Celestial Six head for Blago Prairie to locate the Eiler Shard that was seen there in the memory. Upon arriving at the location, Pihne eventually reveals the altar using her Divine Light, only to become exhausted afterwards. She suggests that she might need to rest, prompting Avelin to question her well-being. On the other hand, the knights notice that the chest where the Eiler Shard would be has already been tampered with. Much to the knights' surprise, the same Apostle from before appears. The group realizes that it has no choice but to fight it.

After the fight, Talvish revisits the idea of a traitor existing amongst them, further stating that the Prophets may have the Elved Shard already. However, Pihne and Caswyn suddenly disappear, causing Talvish to ask the Milletian to search for them while he, Avelin, and Altam look for the Prophets in Belvast.

Eventually, when the Milletian returns to Belvast, Avelin reveals to them that something urgent came up. She tells the Milletian to come with her to Lunae Valley where the Arthuan Altar was. Once they head there, 'Avelin' reveals that she was actually Brilluen disguised as Avelin all along. Brilluen then tells the Milletian that she intends to get rid of them for good, sending Pennar after them as she leaves.

Sometime after the Milletian returns with Pihne and Caswyn, the Celestial Six arrive at the Avalon Gate grounds and find Reanimated Corpses within the area. The group soon finds all of the Prophets gathered outside of the gate as well. The Celestial Six then prepare for another battle against Zebach, this time in its final form. Unfortunately for the knights, Zebach overwhelms each of them, including Avelin.

After Zebach is defeated by the Milletian, the Prophets manage to pass through the Avalon Gate using all the collected Alban Knights' Shards. The other knights besides Talvish soon wake up, allowing him to relay this information to them. He also points out that his efforts of combining the knights' Divine Light when the Prophets used the Sacred Mark caused the Prophets to become trapped beyond the gate. It is then decided that although the Celestial Six completed its mission, a new strategy must be devised.

Talvish then asks the others' well-being and if they wish to rest, prompting the knights to do so. When Caswyn thanks the Milletian for their help, Pihne asks Avelin if her opinion of Caswyn has changed. Avelin initially denies the idea, but then tells Pihne to just dismiss her opinion.

Soon, it is decided by Talvish that the Celestial Six must disband. Avelin states that she and Altam will keep an eye on the Avalon Gate and the Prophets. Pihne suggests Altam to stand guard from time to time, prompting Avelin to disagree, even though she feels he has grown more trustworthy. Then, when Caswyn tells Avelin to take care of herself, Avelin wishes the same to him.
