Samhain Event (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

1st Movement: Lost Lullaby

Kristell, concerned for Shenon's welfare after he mysteriously stops sending her letters, asks the Milletian to check up on him. Upon investigation, Shenon acts strangely, with a flat expression while muttering hunger and betrayal. According to Sion, Shenon had recently found a treasure map pointing toward Rabbie Dungeon.

The Milletian investigates Rabbie Dungeon and discovers a Fragment that hums with strange energy. Kristell takes the fragment for study, and asks the Milletian to search for the rest of the fragments. After finding all five fragments, Kristell merges the fragments together, forming a compass. During the merge, the compass releases energy that appears to be headed toward Shenon.

After the fact, Shenon appears to have recovered, but doesn't remember what happened after finding the treasure in Rabbie Dungeon. However, upon returning to Kristell, she is confused with the whole events, revealing to have been away for some time; the Milletian had been helping an impostor all this time.

2nd Movement: Broken Melody

The real Kristell had been thinking of the recent events and explains to the Milletian that the item they had found is the Mirror Compass, an ancient relic that has the power to connect Erinn to the afterlife. Knowing the dangers of such item, she broke the compass and sealed it away, praying that no one would ever find it. However, with the compass found and restored, a dark, ominous power approaches Port Ceann.

At Port Ceann, Shenon claims to have seen a whole fleet of ships emerging from dark smoke on the horizon. The Milletian cannot see them until they touch Shenon, where they are teleported into what appears to be an otherworldly space. According to Kristell, Shenon has somehow gained the ability to cross the space between the two worlds. The adventurers peering at the ships in the otherworldly space hold nothing useful until Meryl appears, who offers to help the Milletian if they accompany her to one of the ships; Kristell suggests the Milletian should take her offer.

After fighting off Skeletons invading the port, Meryl takes the Milletian aboard the ships. At the end of the ship, the Milletian finds a paper and the impostor Kristell who flees after a battle, but Meryl had vanished. Back at the port the Milletian finds Meryl, who states that she went into hiding after hearing the fight. She then takes the paper and deduces it to be a log entry or diary, but is too worn to be deciphered.

After repeating the ship entry and finding the paper four more times, Meryl looks depressed and reveals the contents of the logs. They explain about a female adventurer inheriting a ship from her grandfather, with a goal to sail to Erinn. However, the adventurer's father created a rebellion, killed the grandfather, and left the adventurer to die after her ship was struck by a storm and her fleet wiped out. After noting the emptiness of the ship's ballroom, Meryl betrays the Milletian and attacks them, revealing to be the impostor Kristell and the person in the logs, with the intent to kill the Milletian to bring her people to Erinn.

Refusing to die, the impostor reveals her true form, Laighlinne, and defeats the Milletian. However, she realizes her anger only causes more pain and ceases her attack, releasing the Milletian and turning the fleet away. The Milletian wakes up at the port, with the compass fragments washed up on shore. After returning to the real Kristell, she takes all but one fragment and plans to seal the compass away again, entrusting the one fragment to the Milletian.

Meanwhile, back at the fleet, Laighlinne intends to accept her fate, noting that some of her fleet's descendants have already made it to Erinn. However, she is then attacked by a dark force, her grandfather Sera, who intends to "do what must be done."
