Flowering 30 (Landsday)/Gillihís 30 (Tresdía): Millisymph celebrated La Día de Padrig (Padrig's Day) with its traditional red capped boat and ship parade through El estrecho de Millisymph (Millisymph Strait).  The day's festivities were overseen by Millisymph royalty Rei Geraldo VI, Princesa Romana Luisa of Millisymph, and Princesa Marisol de San Marino.  Among the parade's ships was the Dream Lady under Navy Capitaine Abelard d'Pésni, with his personnel including First Mate Lieutenant Alere Lyeiss, Army Centurion Dia Hadleys, his second wife and Dia's sister Journeyman Mage Willow Hadleys, Abelard and Dia's daughter Navy Matelot Hildireth d'Pésni, Navy Mage Quartier-maître Thanea the Tracer, Army Ranger Centurion Sara of Greenrock, and Army physician Centurion Abigejla Leonière.  All these were of the Barony of Skulas of the Empire of Adania on planet Zamora.
After the parade, the group attended the red cap joust in Durmando.  Whether a knight vs. a knight, or a squire vs. a squire, using blunted weapons, each contestant tried to knock off the tall red cap their opponent was wearing.  Squire Manuel de Pisno was hit in the head and injured in front of the group; Abigejla treated him with help from Thanea and Willow.  Dia entered a footman's competition similar to the knight and squire's contest but on foot instead of horseback; Dia bestest two competitors.  Sara won the "track the gnome" contest.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Flowering 32 (Middleday)/Gillihís 32 (Cindía): The Dream Lady set sail from Durmando in Millisymph.  The ship traveled under Navy Capitaine Abelard d'Pésni, with his personnel including First Mate Lieutenant Alere Lyeiss, Army Centurion Dia Hadleys, his second wife and Dia's sister Journeyman Mage Willow Hadleys, Abelard and Dia's daughter Navy Matelot Hildireth d'Pésni, Navy Mage Quartier-maître Thanea the Tracer, Army Ranger Centurion Sara of Greenrock, and Army physician Centurion Abigejla Leonière.  Also aboard were Mistress Magus Mojarósa and Warrior Priestess Yaritza la Abridora.  As Seagate appeared to open on Flowering 38, after a years in Edyleine they planned to return to the Barony of Skulas of the Empire of Adania on planet Zamora.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Flowering 34 (Reckoning)/Gillihís 34 (Sidía): The Dream Lady was caught in an unexpected storm.  The crew battled to keep the ship together and afloat.  During the storm, Army Ranger Centurion Sara of Greenrock went overboard.  Fortunately, she managed to grab hold of some floating driftwood, and was rescued.  First Mate Lieutenant Alere Lyeiss was not so fortunate; he also went overboard during the storm, followed by the ship forcibly landing on an island.  The ship suffered significant damage, but it was believed it could be repaired.
The crew found signs of other people, but some of the types of footprints were unfamiliar.  They soon saw beings through the trees and other plants on the island.  They learned there were fox-like humanoids, centaurs, half-orcs, ogres, orcs, thalosian humans, goblins, and a few other people who didn't fit the human "standard.""  Instead of being attacked, however, the visitors were welcomed.  The natives, in spite of barely surviving, offered them food.  The crew decided in turn to give the residents some knives and other manufactured items of which the islanders were sorely in need.  The crew learned that the residents had been taken there by ships supposedly to protect them from something called the Monster Purge, an underground effort to purge "monsters" from the Empire of Trynser that began in the early days of the Trynser-Zazimar War.  The residents said they, and others who did not survive, had been delivered to the island for their "protection."  But as they had not been provided with suitable tools or weapons, and had been there for a few years, some of the surviving residents, along with crew members, suspected they had actually been left there not to protect them from the purge, but as part of the purge.
Alere Lyeiss was declared lost at sea.  The crew held a memorial service in his honor.
The crew of the Dream Lady wanted to help the people stuck on what the locals ironically called Monster Island, but as Seagate would be open in four days and for only one day, and as they had to return to their own world, they regretfully could not stay to do so.  They did help heal a couple of sick and injured people, and used magic to give them some purified water and more food.  Mistress Magus Mojarósa and Warrior Priestess Yaritza la Abridora said they believed that, once the Dream Lady returned to Seagate, they could go through with the crew, and hopefully either get back on another ship or by working with the gate.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Flowering 35 (Lordsday)/Gillihís 35 (Odía): Figuring they could spare one day and still get to Seagate in time, the crew and passengers of the Dream Lady worked to help the people of Monster Island.  Using magic and better tools, there were able to restore a half-way dug well to full functioning.  They also used magic to increase the growth of food-bearing plants.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Flowering 36 (Restingday)/Gillihís 36 (Nudía): The Dream Lady left Monster Island.  The ship traveled under Navy Capitaine Abelard d'Pésni, with his personnel including  Army Centurion Dia Hadleys, his second wife and Dia's sister Journeyman Mage Willow Hadleys, Abelard and Dia's daughter Navy Matelot Hildireth d'Pésni, Navy Mage Quartier-maître Thanea the Tracer, Army Ranger Centurion Sara of Greenrock, and Army physician Centurion Abigejla Leonière.  Also aboard were Mistress Magus Mojarósa and Warrior Priestess Yaritza la Abridora.  Lacking the recently late First Mate Lieutenant Alere Lyeiss, Thanea temporarily served as first mate.
The Dream Lady enountered a strange sea creature that seemed to be halfway made of ocean water; it threatened to engulf the ship.  The group battled it by magic and missile weapons.  Sara was badly injured, and Yaritza was also injured.  The creature moved back into the deep sea, and the injured were treated.  The battle caused damage and threw them off course, greatly delaying their progress.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Flowering 37 (Godsday)/Gillihís 37 (Undía): The Dream Lady continued to head toward Seagate, fighting to make up for lost time.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Flowering 38 (Mustering)/Gillihís 38 (Dosdía)/March 25, Year 40 of Justin VII (Friday): The Dream Lady continued to head toward Seagate, fighting hard to make up for lost time.  With less than an hour left before Seagate would close, they reached it.  Navy Matelot Hildireth d'Pésni said there was no way to summon another ship to get through Seagate before it closed for an entire year.  Mistress Magus Mojarósa and Warrior Priestess Yaritza la Abridora could not return to Monster Island.  Mojarósa, though, said the way had been prepared; because of the people there, there was a chance they could return.  Mojarósa and Yaritza vanished right before Seagate closed.  Except for those on watch, the crew of the Dream Lady slept for the first time in a year, on the first day of the Adanian year, on their own world of Zamora.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Flowering 42 (Sweatingday)/Gillihís 38 (Seisdía)/March 29, Year 40 of Justin VII (Friday): The Dream Lady arrived at the Barony of Skulas after being gone for over a year.  The ship had traveled under Navy Capitaine Abelard d'Pésni, with his personnel including temporary First Mate Navy Mage Quartier-maître Thanea the Tracer, Army Centurion Dia Hadleys, his second wife and Dia's sister Journeyman Mage Willow Hadleys, Abelard and Dia's daughter Navy Matelot Hildireth d'Pésni, Army Ranger Centurion Sara of Greenrock, and Army physician Centurion Abigejla Leonière.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Heris 37 (Godsday)/Scotís 37 (Undía): The ship El Portador del Cartel arrived at Monster Island.  Some people on the island planned to board the ship and go to Durmando, Millisymph, while some planned to head from Durmando to the Empire of Trynser, except going to the more tolerant Trynser City than to whichever outlying area they came from.  However, a significant number decided to stay behind.  They had established homes there, the people who had come there on the Dream Lady had helped improve their living situation, and people from El Portador del Cartel offered even more improvements.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Heris 44 (Lordsday, Festival of Herix)/Scotís 44 (Odía): After helping people's living conditions on Monster Island, the ship El Portador del Cartel left the island and headed for Durmando, Millisymph.  A few passengers planned to establish new homes in Durmando.  Others planned to return to the Empire of Trynser, but instead of returning to their outlying area that had apparently rejected them, planned to establish themselves in the more cosmopolitan Trynser City in the Empire of Trynser or in other more accepting areas.  Passengers who left the island included the centaur family Felipe el Centauro, his wife Zolima la Centaura, and their daughter Udea la Centaura (who settled in Milspar, Millisymph); Felipe's brother Juyan Kabaquis, Juyan's wife Ania Kabaquis, and their son Koihu Kabaquis (who settled in the Quatrona forest northwest of Milspar); the self-proclaimed "were-human" Harbol the Horrible; the half-orcs and orcs Durik, Lurdza, and Skitag; the half-ogres Khanyak, Rutch (who settled in Trynser City), and Vik; and others.  Additional passengers included Mistress Magus Mojarósa and Warrior Priestess Yaritza la Abridora who had assisted the people of Monster Island.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
Damiran 1 (Godsday)/Kenedís 1 (Undía): The ship El Portador del Cartel arrived at a port in Durmando, Millisymph, and a number of passengers disembarked.  Some continued to Trynser City in the Empire of Trynser.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 04 20)
