Ignition
As peace crumbled, Guen found herself - along with Nailah and the rest of the crew of the Black Hound - bound for Belport under the orders of the leader of Linhythe. The illusion of freedom shattered, Guen found great disdain for killing in the name of the Koben Empire when it had never been an agreed part of their pact with the city to become a part of their military forces. Though she did as she was told, she returned to Linhythe with misgivings about her role in the deaths of so many and the partial destruction of Belport. The whispers that a great war was brewing were unsettling, to say the least, as Guen grew increasingly worried that there would be implications for the Corsairs to become further entangled in the Empire's affairs.   

Soon after her return, Guen was visited by an old friend who eventually revealed herself to be an undercover agent for Miras. In order to gain Guen's help in persuading the Corsairs to leave Linhythe and aid the Kingdom in disrupting the city's order, Aly offered a deal Guen could not refuse: should they succeed, Guen would return home with her family's glory restored. Now anxious to redeem herself, Guen pleaded and bribed and bartered on Miras' behalf to convince the Corsairs that it would be better to leave the city. After all, they had been taken advantage of - there would be greater riches on the other side of the sea, and less orders to follow. On the eve of parting, those who did join her helped to set the harbor and the city ablaze. As violence ensued, Guen found herself once again unsettled by the bloodshed which seized the city and questioned the purpose of this war. A part of her wondered if she had made the right choice, though she knew that she was already at the point of no return the moment she agreed to help Aly secure the supplies. 

Her homecoming was nothing like she had imagined. While her reunification with her mother was as warm as she could have hoped for it to be, her family's title was only restored in part - a small but valuable portion of their land was rewarded to her as a result of her actions, but it was nothing like what the Fayolle estate had been in its glory days. The story of how she had earned the title of Baronessa spread quickly through court, and Guen was faced with hostility almost everywhere she turned. The constant conflict between the new Corsairs and the city did little to contribute to her finding footing in the Amedran court. Additional guards were sent to watch over her and her entourage as they traveled between Auraen and Amedra, as people made it clear that the former pirates would not be trusted. Troubles brewed around the kingdom and Guen made it a point to become involved in the nation's affairs. It wasn't long, however, before troubles at home became too difficult to ignore - dissatisfied with their new life, the Corsairs were too eager to return to their old ways of pillaging and plundering. Determined to resolve the issue, as she still considered the Corsairs somewhat her responsibility, Guen sought out allies with whom she would destroy the rebellious Corsairs once and for all in order to secure her position and reputation as the city council threatened exile in order to rid the scums from Amedra's waters. In light of their success, the Corsairs, or rather, what was left of them, became renamed as the Agate Alliance. 

Post Agate Alliance
Having settled into the city, Guen continued to live out two lives as a noble in court while continuing to maintain a presence in the underbellies of Amedra. Eager to make new friends throughout the city, she frequented local businesses such as those belonging to Euphemia and Sara for both business and pleasure.

Since not all pirates were content to live under the watchful eye of the Amedran court, many departed for their old life during Stormtide. Though displeased to see some of her known associates go, she was even more unhappy to find out that they became involved in the kidnapping of prince Sigmund just a few months after, leading to the events on Shackle Island. Guen, along with Noel, Naila, and Judah, pretended to kidnap the princess of what is now East Miras to infiltrate the den of kidnappers in order to salvage the alliance between East Miras and Koben. There, unexpectd, she had a run-in with Spencer which was... more or less unpleasant but determined to overcome her past, she gave him permission to board her ship to return to Amedra.

After, she returned to Auraen after to find a small rebellion squashed at its start by a mystery elf who said that he had arrived in time to save Guen's mother from being assaulted by the mob that had presumed Guen was indeed the princess's kidnapper. Suspicious, but grateful nonetheless, Guen thanked him and allowed him to stay on her property before accepting his request to become an advisor in her service a few weeks after. While managing her affairs and starting to train the locals to prepare for the oncoming war in case of an attack, Guen's crew once again sailed at the suggestion of the baroness to the mystery citadel. There, after engaging with some soldiers from West Miras, Guen and Noel pilfered panels of a stained-glass window from the island's chapel and she returns home to find a mysterious (and itchy) mark on her right wrist.

Now growing increasingly involved in the affairs of state, Guen found herself elevated in rank before sailing north on yet another expedition. Her ship was to carry scholars to assist in the search for Mareus in a joint effort with West Miras. Skeptical that this search would bear any fruit, she departed with mixed feelings as the last time she'd been this far north, it'd been for the attack on Belport. Was this really so different, to be sailing here, again, but under the yoke of a different master? 

Deciding that it would be okay as long as no lives would be put at stake, Guen was content to stand as a representative of Amedra as the search for Mareus continued until she was swept away in the torrents of the collapsed glacier. In a split second, everything she'd known shattered - once Spencer helped her out of the ocean, she found herself staring at the face of the newly awakened dragon the size of a mountain. Even more bewildering were the events that soon followed after - the appearance of Mareus's god child, her request, revelation, and then, the cryptic whisper from yet another god. 

Having felt the strange draw from Iridus for quite a while, Guen, now determined to investigate this, sailed south instead of returning home. As they neared Linhythe, she donned another disguise and found herself feeling rather nostalgic as she crossed paths with many old friends at Hangman's Cross. Long gone were the days when her biggest worry was over her next meal, now she held the fate of not only herself but her entire crew - her entire city, even - in her hands. Having preferred the gods absent from Alva so she could exercise complete control on her own life, she found herself slipping into despair as she realized herself a pawn, pushed first into the Six Circles, then thrown back by Dunor to face the newly awakened generals of Atros and Aurea. 

Feeling at fault for now having dragged her entire crew into this ordeal, Guen could only see certain deaths in their futures - if not by the claw of the generals, then by the teeth of Dunor. After all, they were but mere mortals - how were they expected to face down the gods? Yet, reassured by her friends, and the unexpected arrival of Judah at their camp, Guen became determined to succeed and thrive despite the odds. Burying her doubts, Guen became focused only on her goal to survive and keep her friends safe from harm first through the battle against Ursus, then Velegor soon after. 

Nothing could've prepared her for the sight of Dunor's arrival at Hangman's crossing,  or her own consequent painful departure from it. The agonizing truth of having been used and betrayed was one of the only things which helped her maintain her sanity and composure as she was forced back to the now collapsing Six Circles. She would have to live to make sure Dunor would regret it all, somehow.
