==Chronology== ===Volume 1 === Ceria enters the Wandering Inn storyline as a member of the [[Horns of Hammerad]]. She is one of the more experienced members, but refuses to be vice-captain because she doesn't like the logistical work. That is the reason why [[Calruz]] has [[Gerial]] in that position.<ref name="1.40" /> She was very helpful towards [[Ryoka]]<ref name="1.04 R" /> after the runner saved her team from a lich. Ceria helped the city runner to explore her innate magic<ref>[[Chapter 1.34 (Archived)]]</ref> until Ryoka challenged Calruz and punched Ceria in a fit of rage. Then, Ceria turned away from Ryoka with a stern warning.<ref>[[Chapter 1.12 R (Archived)]]</ref> Later, Ceria and the other Horns managed to get rooms at [[The Wandering Inn]] as Erin's first real guests while they prepared to enter the Ruins of Liscor.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/18/1-36/ Chapter 1.36 (Archived)]</ref> Ceria and the other Horns did get caught up in other issues during their time at the inn before the ruins, though. They were present when Pawn came to the inn nearly dead after being tortured by Ksmvr<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/25/1-38/ Chapter 1.38 (Archived)]</ref> and Ceria was attacked by [[Gazi Pathseeker]] after she refused to give the named adventurer enough information about the whereabouts of Ryoka.<ref name="1.40" /> Eventually, Ceria, her team, and a [[Silver Spears|few]] [[Circle of Reneë|others]] had all of their preparations finished and they ventured into the Ruins of Liscor. Their preparations were not enough to handle the dungeon, though. The dungeon started off fine,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/12/1-00-h/ Chapter 1.00 H (Archived)]</ref> but a powerful undead named Skinner was released decimating most of the adventurers.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/19/1-02-h/ Chapter 1.02 H (Archived)]</ref> Her arm atrophied to skeletal remains in her attempt to stop [[Skinner]], and she had to watch as many of her teammates died. Ceria went down fighting a ghoul in the ruins. ===Volume 2=== Days after those above-ground had finished dealing with [[Skinner's Attack on Liscor|Skinner's Attack]], Erin, Ryoka, and Pisces went back down into the ruins to look for survivors after Pisces received a faint message. They eventually found Ceria and [[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]] hiding inside of stone coffins and starving.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/22/2-04/ Chapter 2.03]</ref> Once she was recovered enough to move, Ceria was brought back out to the entrance of the ruins where [[Liscor's City Watch|Liscor's guards]] were getting ready to storm the ruins themselves. At the entrance though, Gazi revealed herself to capture Ryoka and Erin for her [[Flos Reimarch|king]]. Gazi was not hesitant about attacking others in the process though. She stabbed [[Zevara Sunderscale|Zevara]] and was on the verge of killing a downed Ceria when Erin poked Gazi's eye out and the name-ranked adventurer fled.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/28/2-06/ Chapter 2.05]</ref> Ceria survived, but in the end she had to deal with the consequences of releasing Skinner. Her team was dead, her hand atrophied, and she was not able to keep any of the loot since it was all taken by the city to pay for the attack. She had also dropped all of her gear and other loot while running from the undead. Seeing this, Erin offered her a place to stay in her inn.<ref name=":3" /> This stay didn't last too long as soon the inn was blown up. Ceria consoled Erin and helped to build the new one. On one journey nearby, she went with Klbkch who had her start thinking about what she would do going forward.<ref name="2.11" /> In the new inn, Ceria suffered from nightmares, but she also realized that her skeletal hand was not completely useless and was capable of casting magic.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/15/2-13/ Chapter 2.13]</ref> Ceria continued to recover and help Erin with her shenanigans in the inn. Once, Ceria helped prepare hamburgers during an impromput concert,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/22/2-16/ Chapter 2.17]</ref> and later she helped Erin prepare a feast for the frost faeries.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/03/2-19/ Chapter 2.21]</ref> Eventually though, Ceria felt that she had to start being active again. She met one of the only other remaining survivors of the attack on the Ruins of Liscor, [[Yvlon Byres|Yvlon]]. At this meeting between the two and Erin, Ceria announced her decision to continue adventuring and recruited Yvlon to join her.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/14/2-21/ Chapter 2.25]</ref> The [[Halfseekers]] came to Liscor as well to explore the expanded [[Liscor's Dungeon|dungeon under Liscor]] that was being uncovered, but they also saw Ceria fighting and offered her a spot on their gold-rank team.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/17/2-22/ Chapter 2.26]</ref> Ceria eventually decided against this and reforms her own team, a new Horns of Hammerad with Yvlon Byres, [[Pisces]], and [[Ksmvr]] joining her. Soon after making the decision, the group headed out to combat a goblin raid on a nearby village. Here they were able to partially gear back up using salvaged parts.<ref name="2.32H">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/06/04/2-00-h/ Chapter 2.32 H]</ref> Once they were back, Olesm also brought the team a map of a new dungeon: The [[Ruins of Albez]]. Ceria and her team quickly headed out after securing funding from Erin to explore the hopefully fruitful ruins.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/06/07/2-27/ Chapter 2.33]</ref> ===Volume 3=== [[File:Horns of Hammerad by DemonicCriminal.jpg|thumb|255x255px|The Horns vs Thresk's fire construct by [[Fanworks/Demonic Criminal|LeChatDemon]]]] The story picked back up with the Horns eight days later. They were not nearly as successful as they would have hoped, were running out of funds, and were all getting very annoyed. Ceria tried to be diplomatic, but the group was at their wits ends given their poor results and less than stellar living conditions for the past week. After some deliberation, Ceria agreed to use Pisces' undead to help dig for secret rooms in the ruins. This tequnique was quickly successful as Pisces' skeletons hit a trap that revealed a previously undiscovered mage's quarters. The group had to deal with more traps and crelers in the coming hours, but they were able to make it through relatively safely. That is until they reached a door. They tried to circumvent the traps there, but failed when the door teleported them into a pit filled with bones and walls covered with [Insanity] runes.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/08/3-02-h/ Chapter 3.02 H]</ref> Ceria's insanity involved memories of her grandmother telling her about half-elves. She woke up and went back into insanity repeatedly as the rune drew her eye. Luckily, Ksmvr had some resistance to [Insanity] due to his antinium nature. He was able to take a strip of Ceria's pants and tie it around her eyes to stop her from seeing the rune when she woke. Despite interference from the other two insane members, Ksmvr was further able to direct Ceria to where the rune was, so she could cover it. The others came back to reality eventually and they managed to dig their way back out using the bones to make more skeletons. They came out near the door and chipped out the stone around it to find the treasure they had been looking for on the other side. This treasure room was guarded by a flaming construct that self destructed once it realized that the adventurers were here to take the treasure and would destroy it to do so. Ceria and her group managed to run back down to the pit before they were burnt alive, and Pisces summoned more skeletons to try and salvage some of the gear before it all burned.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/26/3-07-h/ Chapter 3.07 H]</ref> Despite the attempts by the golem, the team was left with a good amount of loot. The gold and gems had all melted together and there were other magical items that had survived like a magical bag, a cracked shield, and a burnt magical sword. With the loot gathered, the group headed back to [[Remendia]] to get to safety. Instead they made it to [[Ocre]] and after fending off some concerned guards and civilians, made it to the local adventurer's guild. They even came out the next day to adulation at the successful adventurers.<ref name="3.08 H" /> [[File:Beaverspeak-by-artsynada.jpg|left|thumb|205x205px|Beaverspeak by [[Fanworks/Artsy Nada|Artsy Nada]]]] [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]] got word of Ceria and her team's success and went down to Ocre to celebrate with them. Ceria and Ryoka caught up as they discussed the distribution of loot. A lot of the gold would be going to the family of those that died in the Ruins of Liscor and some more to pay back Erin. Ryoka was also hired to get the gear evaluated in [[Invrisil]] after [[Reynold Ferusdam|Reynold]] and [[Ressa]] showed up to request Ryoka's presence on behalf of [[Magnolia Reinhart]].<ref name="3.09" /><ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/09/05/3-10/ Chapter 3.10]</ref> The group also eventually left the city to head to Celum and meet up with Erin once more.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/10/17/3-24/ Chapter 3.24]</ref> Once there, the team realized that they left some a valuable item behind, so they take another loan from Erin to hire another carriage to get the [[Magical Door|magical door]]. Erin took this door as repayment for her loans as all of them got ready to head back to Liscor.<ref name=":1" /> This trip was much more comfortable than before since Erin could pop through the magical door to give all of the Horns meals at a moment's notice (even if they had to continue to guard the wagon). Their comfort was interupted when [[Teriarch|an old man]] attacked the wagon looking for Erin. The adventurers fought him, but were soundly defeated. He did end up helping them with magical questions after Erin told him about how to find more apps on [[Ryoka's iPhone]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/11/04/3-30/ Chapter 3.30]</ref> The Horns and Erin eventually made it back to the Wandering Inn and got rooms in the basement after meeting some of the [[Zel Shivertail|residents]] that had come to the inn since Erin had been away.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/11/28/3-33/ Chapter 3.33]</ref> Soon after, the Horns made a trip out to Esthelm to give aid after a goblin attack at the behest of Erin.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/12/02/3-34/ Chapter 3.34]</ref> The group came back to the inn and got a partial evaluation of what Ryoka had identified of their magic items from Albez. Ceria was also present for Erin's Christmas celebration and participated in the discussion about where Erin was from.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/12/26/3-42/ Chapter 3.42]</ref> === Volume 4 === Ryoka returns with one item sold for considerable magical gear that should bring the reformed Horns to ''Gold Rank''. However, the adventuring guilds require proof that the Horns are at Gold level. They do several more quests mostly around Liscor and Esthelm, but the group stagnates somewhat and is regularly outdone by the Gold Rank teams which frequent the Wandering Inn. Ceria was captured during the Raskghar attacks, and spent several days as their captive, attempting to subvert them to little success. At the time of the final assault on the Raskghar camp, she was able to convince Calruz to join her in fighting against his acquired tribe of monsters once it is clear they have lost to the combined forces invading the dungeon. Eventually, Erin gets the [[Pallass|Pallassian]] mage [[Grimalkin]] to evaluate the Horns of Hammerad. The [Sinew Magus] spells out for Ceria that despite being one of the more powerful members of the Horns, she has been complacent in her training and lacking in physical acumen; and he advises a rigorous training regimen for her, consisting of a healthy diet and sessions submerged in a boiling bath in order to strengthen her ice magic. She credits the training with allowing her the skills and fitness to survive and defeat an Adult Creler at the Bloodfields. === Volume 10 === Ceria: Heroes of Hraace (Pt. [https://wanderinginn.com/2024/09/29/heroes-of-hraace-pt-1/ 1], [https://wanderinginn.com/2024/10/06/heroes-of-hraace-pt-2/ 2], [https://wanderinginn.com/2024/10/06/heroes-of-hraace-pt-3/ 3]) Ceria recovers after Floss tries to destroy the Circlet. After mocking Death-General Losve, Ceria and the Horns flee from the general for miles. When the general finally gives up, Ceria meets up with Amerys. They talk about magic, and Ceria realizes that Amerys is just as insecure about her magical knowledge as she is. Ceria shows Amerys the magical clothes she acquired from the City of Shields. Amerys tries to take them, but returns them after Ceria threatens her with ice spikes. Ceria and Amerys discuss how far Wistram mages have advanced and how the magical gap is widening—they don’t think they can keep up. They find one of Wistram's magical carriages and attempt to reverse-engineer its magic. They come up with different theories, with Pisces helping them, but they still haven’t figured out how the magical carriage was fully created. Ceria arrives in Hraace and is judged by the pedagogia of Hraace. She predicts that there will be a hero within the Horns team. Each of the Horns gets a trainer, and they begin training. Ceria trains in running on complicated ice ramps. At first, she finds it hard to reach the end of the ramps, but after a few days, she not only finishes the very challenging ice ramps but also defeats her trainers. Ceria encounters the hero, Doubte, and challenges him to a friendly fight. Doubte defeats the Horns. Ceria talks to Teres and helps her find her own path. She assists Teres in escaping from Floss’s guards and boarding a ship from Rime heading towards the new lands in Izril. Ceria receives an invitation from Yisame, asking the Horns to visit her. Ceria agrees. On their way to Nerrhavia’s Fallen, they encounter slavers. The Horns attack and free the slaves. {{TBA}}
