There were many events that helped wrap up or start important plot points throughout the chapter. One issue from the previous chapter was the distribution of the adventurer's loot from the raid on the [[Village of the Dead]]. [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria]] handled this such that most relics and monster materials would be auctioned off through the Merchant's Guild, and the gold would be pooled together and given evenly as shares to the participating teams. Silver-rank teams would get one share, Gold-rank teams would get two, and Named-ranks would get three. There would be no allowances for larger teams, and no extra loot for the dead. Teams would be able to buy some of the artifacts pre-auction for market price if they wanted to lay claim on a specific item. The [[Horns of Hammerad|Horns]] themselves having a strong claim on many of the relics would hold onto the rings, circlet, spellbook, and sword but would give up the [[Helm of Fire]] and the scrolls they took. Through some clever bending of the truth Ceria convinced the adventurers that the circlet was still in [[Savere]] and the sword truthfully was in [[Chandrar]] which made it seem more acceptable. What helped convince the adventurers the most though was that the Helm of Fire on auction was projected to sell for one million gold coins giving every team at minimum a 20,000 gold coin payout. | There were many events that helped wrap up or start important plot points throughout the chapter.

In reality, she just hadn't thought of eating it yet. She rushed back home and found out that it would help her stand for four hours a day albeit with extreme pain and soreness afterwards. The adventuring teams returned and celebrated their good fortune as well as Erin recovering enough to walk and while they celebrated, Erin got a letter from [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]] telling her about the runner's whereabouts. Erin learned about her situation on [[Terandria]] and used that terandrian connection to remember [[Rabbiteater]] who she learned was a hero of the war versus [[Dawn Concordat]]. Moore came to the inn as well, and despite his wariness, broke down over the attention given by Erin and [[Mrsha]] - especially Mrsha who would not leave him alone once he'd finally come back to the inn. After things had settled down, Erin went to the [[Garden of Sanctuary]] to vocalize her thoughts in private. Mrsha and Normen overheard her talking about [[Numbtongue]] and [[Octavia Cotton|Octavia]]'s secret relationship and her plans to start new quests namely a Heroic Quest: Zeladona’s Trial of a Thousand Blades! and a <Legendary Quest: Destroy [[Roshal]]. The first didn't work because the reward of a swordmaster's skill wasn't right, and the second she deemed not the right time. | ||
The following day, Erin went to the Mages Guild to pen a response to Ryoka and to also inquire about the whereabouts of [[Nanette Weishart|Nanette]] who she'd promised to look after. Due to her being dead though, she couldn't easily contact [[Laken Godart|Laken]] who she knew was in contact with many [Witches]. When she got back to the inn, it was in the middle of a heated argument between [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] and her [[Thronebearers of Calanfer|Thronebearers]] vs [[Lism Swifttail|Lism]] and the [Negotiator], [[Teliv Witherscale|Teliv]]. Lism was to return Erin's [[Magical Door]] now that she was alive again, but the financial side of it was a mess. [[Liscor]] had actually lost money on the door due to how much mana it took to keep it running, but Lyonette wanted the profits. The issue came up that both Lyon and Erin were frankly really bad with finances. Despite all of their friends there was no one that wanted to handle the inn's messy financial situation. Mrsha luckily did have the right connections. She first tried to get [[Fetohep]] for help, but he refused, but she then brought Erin to the Mages Guild once more where they could contact [[Yelroan]] since he made a living off of this kind of math. | The following day, Erin went to the Mages Guild to pen a response to Ryoka and to also inquire about the whereabouts of [[Nanette Weishart|Nanette]] who she'd promised to look after.

As she fretted about this, she was approached by adventurers looking to buy personalized <Quests> and she had to flee the guild. While fleeing she ran into another group this time of knights who had come to inquire about the Order of the Solstice. Ceria's rumor and Rabbiteater's chosen name had gotten enough attention that it had come back to Erin. Through council from the Ser [[Lormel]] and her knowledge from the [[Land of the Dead]], Erin used loopholes in founding [[Knights#Knighthood Orders|Knighthood Orders]] to declare the new [[Order of Solstice]] as a crusade chapter of Chandrar. Most continents required hundreds of knights to form an order, but Chandrar only required as many as there were [[Shield Kingdoms]] of which there are only five remaining. She could found the order in Chandrar and move it to [[Izril]] because of the familiarity she had with chandrarian knights in death. The members would be herself as leader, Ser Solstice, [[Brunkr]] who she inducted posthumously, and Normen who she knighted herself. | As she fretted about this, she was approached by adventurers looking to buy personalized <Quests> and she had to flee the guild.

The knighting of Normen was a moment, and with him she found the start of a solution for some of the problems that she could not bring herself to send others for. In the afterglow, she had Mrsha send a formal request to Yelroan for a job offer at the inn. She bribed him with math from the laptop, and work with [[Hexel Quithail|Hexel]], but mostly because there was a lot of good he could do in Liscor. Yelroan was writing his refusal when Merish interuppted him. Yelroan thought he was needed with Plain's Eye and Merish couldn't disagree, but it was time for the tribe to stop holding him back. Merish reasoned that Yelroan should go abroad and send money back if he wanted to, but he should flourish elsewhere. The two embraced, and Yelroan agreed to leave. That night, Normen leveled up evolving his class into a [Courteous Knight] and Erin leveled up to level 47 gaining the [[ | The knighting of Normen was a moment, and with him she found the start of a solution for some of the problems that she could not bring herself to send others for.
