This Best of Both Worlds (BBW) "world-traveling campaign" was run on 2 November 2019. While BBW actually overlapped and included parts of many other campaigns; only those with events on Edyleine are listed here. Note that by design the game sessions do not show the distinction between PCs and NPCs.

Flowering 42 (Sweatingday)/March 29, Year 43 of Justin VII (Tuesday): Priestess Haifa Hahn, Sir Juan Montero, and Squire Matías Rosario met Audrea Daleos, Juan Silvio-Vagle (formerly known as Juan de Fulmando), Virgilio Guerra, Kilian Bornemann, and Chiara Herkenhoff.  They went to the temple of Leathane where Priestess María del Carmen Benítez was staying, and learned that she and Williams Freedman had stayed there, but were gone at the time.
They ate, and discussed plans and debated about the identity of the supposedly very young girl Amma they had met in the Labyrinth of Prince Lucretius Valarius. They decided to make a report of what they had done to Prince Lucretius.  After they arrived there, they learned the prince was not available, but they could come back the next day.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 11 02)
Flowering 43 (Reckoning)/March 30, Year 43 of Justin VII (Wednesday): A group heard a report that Prince Lucretius Valarius was rewarding the heroes who had closed the ancient gate in his labyrinth.  Priestess Haifa Hahn, Sir Juan Montero, Squire Matías Rosario, Audrea Daleos, Juan Silvio-Vagle (fomerly known as Juan de Fulmando), Virgilio Guerra, Kilian Bornemann, and Chiara Herkenhoff expected to be welcomed as heroes.  Instead, they discovered honors were to be bestowed on two of their companions, Leathane Priestess María del Carmen Benítez and Williams Freedman.
Members of the group were highly upset.  They met and confronted María and Williams.  The couple claimed that the others had fled, and then the couple and a separate group had dealt with monsters and closed the gate, but that all the rest of their group had died.  Juan demanded their story be tested.
Members of the group were tested--and it was discovered that Williams and María were under some sort of influence.  Some of the group remembered that Williams had been bitten; it was verified that María had been bitten by Williams.  Both of them were magically made to sleep until more could be done for them.
Satisfied that he now knew the truth, Prince Lucretius Valarius offered the members a reward.  They said the only reward they wanted was slaves; he said that could easily be arranged.  But they said they wanted specific slaves.  Juan wanted his father Silvio Ferrarius, mother Delores Vagle, and sister Yesenia Silvio-Vagle, and said Williams Freedman wanted his sister Miranda Williams.  Virgilio wanted his father Joshua Williams, his aunt Norma Reed and uncle Valario Reed.  Sir Juan said he had no one in particular in mind, but asked that a slave be freed for him, and Matías asked the same.  Haifa asked for something for her temple.  Kilian and Chiara, however, said a reward would be most welcomed and appreciated. Audrea asked if she could be recognized as a licensed mage.
The prince agreed to their requests, except that Audrea was told he would arrange an examination for her.  Kilian, Chiara, and Haifa were rewarded as they requested.  But the prince said it would take several days to arrange the freedom of the slaves.  In the meantime, members of the group were to be treated well.
The group debated about the very young girl Amma they had seen on the edge of the Gate.  Some suspected she was Samorojia, Goddess of Gates, herself.  But Priestess Haifa said that was most unlikely.  The gods and goddesses rarely took direct action to avoid direct conflict with each other; instead they used agents.  But she said Amma could well have been an agent of the goddess.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 11 02)
Heris 5 (Middleday)/April 8, Year 43 of Justin VII (Wednesday): Sir Juan Montero, Squire Matías Rosario, Audrea Daleos,  Juan Silvio-Vagle, and Virgilio Guerra were rewarded as they requested--almost.  Juan received his sister Yesenia Silvio-Vagle.  She, like their father Silvio Ferrarius and mother Delores Vagle had been freed from slavery at Juan's request.  However, while Yesenia wanted to leave, she said Silvio and Delores had received appointments working as butler and maid in a master armorer's fine household, and decided to stay.
Williams Freedman, who was cured, received his sister Miranda Williams.  The now cured María del Carmen Benítez was given something for her temple.  Virgilio received his father Joshua Williams, but learned his aunt Norma Reed and uncle Valario Reed had died.  The prince had two slaves freed on the request of Sir Juan and Matias; these were the couple Cornelius and Hilaria.
Audrea was given the results of her test; she qualified as a certified mage in Aborea.
The temple of Samorojia had determined they knew of no safe way to try to bring back Draotameia aka Edyth Grey, hermana de Surrea/former slave of Aborea.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 11 02)
Heris 7 (Reckoning)/April 10, Year 43 of Justin VII (Friday): Sir Juan Montero, Squire Matías Rosario, Audrea Daleos, Juan Silvio-Vagle, Virgilio Guerra,  Yesenia Silvio-Vagle, Williams Freedman, Miranda Williams, María del Carmen Benítez,  Virgilio Guerra,  Joshua Williams, Cornelius, and Hilaria boarded the ship The Arrowhead to travel to Trynser City.  The Arrowhead sailed under Captain Filiberta Bartley with First Mate Olin Hoskins.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 11 02)
Heris 9 (Restingday)/April 12, Year 43 of Justin VII (Saturday): In honor of the lost Draotameia aka Edyth Grey, the freed slave couple Cornelius and Hilaria took her surname and became known as Cornelius Grey and Hilaria Grey. They were married by Captain Filiberta Bartley on board The Arrowhead. Sir Juan Montero, Squire Matías Rosario, Audrea Daleos, Juan Silvio-Vagle, Virgilio Guerra, Yesenia Silvio-Vagle, Williams Freedman, Miranda Williams, María del Carmen Benítez, Virgilio Guerra, Joshua Williams, Cornelius, and Hilaria arrived later that day in Trynser City.
Audrea Daleos reported and showed documentation that she had been recognized as a certified mage in Aborea; mages in Trynser City said they would discuss it.  Juan introduced Yesenia to his employer, Master Donghai Ping.  Ping was pleased with Yesenia, but quite disappointed that Juan had not brought his parents to serve in the Donghai household.  However, Juan told him they had brought the freed slaves Cornelius and Hilaria Grey who would be happy to work for Master Ping in exchange for room and board and a small allowance.  After testing their skills, Master Ping agreed.
Juan told Master Ping and others that, as he was now reunited with his sister Yesenia Silvio-Vagle, he had returned to his original name of Juan Silvio-Vagle in honor of her and his parents. (Best of Both Worlds 2019 11 02)
