View source for The Night of Bloodtear

The '''Night of Bloodtear''' happened right after the [[Winter Solstice]], 23 A.F. 

==Background (Pt.1)==

After the great battle against [[Kasigna]] was over, [[Erin Solstice]] went to sleep. As her levels began to appear, the [[System]] shouted in her head to wake up. [[Roshal|Roshal's]] people had come to enslave her. After a few fights between Roshalians and the people Erin Solstice had summoned to fight Kasigna, [[Iertalinam]] was able to teleport to [[The Naga's Den]] with Erin, [[Ulvama]] and [[Halrac's arrow]] in tow. 

Enchained, Erin spoke to the five Slave Lords of Roshal. They offered her a few things in return for her joining them. Erin refused. Erin was then brought belowdecks along with the other slaves. 

[[Yazdil Achakhei|Yazdil]] offers her a secret magical contract. Then Lord [[Pazeral]] takes away that contract and offers his own. Erin does not sign. Instead she talk to the other slaves and says there is a chance she can free them. 

The slaves give up some blood, huddling around her to hide her, and Erin dances an Infernal Dance of the [[Lucifen]]. The dance brings Erin to a secret pocket dimension of the Lucifen where she negotiates a part of her soul in exchange for their help in bringing Ulvama and whoever else she deems fit to freedom, and protect them. [[Visophecin]] agrees. The Lucifen appear, free Erin, the other slaves, and start sailing the ship to Izril. 

Erin feels [[Rabbiteater]] with the power of her [Innkeeper] Class and tells the Lucifen to bring her there. They attempt to refuse but must fulfill her wishes; Erin has deemed Rabbiteater fit for protection, and the Lucifen are still under contract. They start heading to Rabbiteater. Ulvama sends up a magic flare; the Goblin word '''Naefoma''', meaning help. 

==Background (Pt.2)==

The [[Terandria|Terandrian]] colonization fleet are set upon by [[Bloodtear Pirates]] and Alchemist [[Irurx]].

For some days, the colonization fleet is harried by the entirety of Bloodtear; all sixty-four ships and two [Pirate Admirals] joining in on the naval battle, and [[Shifthold]]; a Level 60 + alchemist and his insectile crew, who hate all [[half-Elves]]. 

This is mainly because of a few factors,

*Irurx has paid Bloodtear with a huge amount of healing potions; allowing them to fight with less risk of permanent damage or death than the Terandrians.

*The Bloodtear Pirates have an extremely powerful Combination Poem Skill: [We Sailed Under Flags of No Quarter]. [A Storm at Our Backs]. [We Took No Prisoner]. [Blood in the Waters, Blood in the Sky].

*All the other naval superpowers either cannot or will not help the Terandrians.
** The [[Drowned People|Drowned Folk]] are afraid of Captain [[Lidera]].
** Admiral [[Imor Seagrass]] will do nothing unless paid. 
** The [[Minotaurs]] are too far away.
** The [[Iron Vanguard]] are tailing close behind but do not attack; [[Tulm the Mithril|Tulm the Mithril's]] daughter, [[Zoler]], has joined Bloodtear and is threatening to commit suicide if the Iron Vanguard attacks.

In these few days, a third of the Terandrian fleet-40 ships-is lost.

==History==
With the help of the [[Lucifen]] (unwillingly), [[Ulvama]], Admiral [[Dakelos]], and the [[Horns of Hammerad]], Erin attacked several Bloodtear ships, personally killing Captain [[Jiupe]], while fending off several of Roshal's ships seeking to capture or kill the [Innkeeper]. Several of Erin's guests, including [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]], [[Nerry]], [[Seve-Alrelious]], [[Revi Cotton|Revi]], [[Embraim]], [[Rivel val Lischelle-Drakle|Rivel]], and [[Teriarch]] arrived to help the [Innkeeper]. While the Iron Vanguard initially stayed neutral, they along with [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]] began attacking the Bloodtear Pirates after emboldened by Rabbiteater calling them cowards. A [[Krakens|Kraken]] also showed up attacking everyone, incited by [[Belavierr Donamia|Belavierr]] the Stitch Witch.

Answering Ulvama's signal for help, [[Greydath]] swam in and started fighting the Bloodtears. However, alerted to the arrival of the [[Goblin Lords|Goblin Lord]], the Terandrians, Iron Vanguard, and the Bloodtear Pirates started attacking him. When Erin called to Greydath to help her save Rabbiteater, she unwittingly made herself and her ship a target for everyone. Lord [[Firrus Kallinad|Firrus]] called for a bombardment to kill the Goblin Lord, ignoring everyone else on Erin's ship. [[Archmage]] [[Verdan Blackwood|Verdan]] was able to shield everyone, but was killed in the process, causing the Iron Vanguard to turn on the Terandrian Fleet. At one point, [[Iradoren]] tried to reveal Rabbiteater's identity and kill him, hoping to spin the tragedy of the debacle on the Goblin [Knight]. However, Erin killed the [Prince], then killed Admiral [[Rosech]].

The sea battle would afterwards be called the Night of Bloodtear.
