#### Chapter 3: Three Ships-a-Sailing

As a Seadragon captain and friend of Tarek Elham, Miraldine was invited to attend The Folly of the Four Sons opera. She had other plans however, and opted to hire the changeling Kai through Vis to impersonate her and attend the performance in her stead. She returns after the main show, and swaps places with Kai to personally schmooze with those attending.

#### Chapter 7: Death of the Artist

Miraldine is spotted by En visiting the Grand Auction Hall on the night of the "A new Khorvaire" auction. She is joined by her boyfriend Tarek Elham. When Tarek gets into a deeply upsetting and insulting argument with Stanislav Dragovicz, Miraldine challenges Stanislav to a duel in Tarek's honour.

In the wake of the confrontation, Miraldine chases after Tarek, accusing him of acting strangely during the events of the evening. When the bidding begins, she is seen going in and out of the auction room without Tarek in sight, notably upset. When zombies attack the auction, she stands with High Prince Ryger and holds the undead at bay. As the horror settles, accusations that the Diresharks were behind the attack begin to fly about the room, but Miraldine refutes this by pointing out that this kind of trick is not their style.

Upon discovering Tarek's corpse in the gallery, Miraldine is horrified, accusing Arel d'Thuranni of her boyfriend's murder. Afterwards she begins to peruse measures to see Tarek resurrected, preserving his body at the local hospital. A few days later, she is seen with Edmund Beckett regarding an offer of his. After he departs, Kai approaches, introducing her to Luca. Luca offers her an opportunity to use Speak with Dead on Tarek, free of charge, to which she accepts.

Arranging the meeting, Miraldine speaks with Seeker Else regarding Speak with Dead and insists that she will be present during the ritual, making it clear she does not trust anyone alone with Tarek. Follow the rattling revelations of the ritual, Miraldine finally makes time to speak with Detective Brina d'Medani. The interview takes place at Tarek's apartment, where Brina discovers that multiple items Miraldine gifted Tarek have been laced with poison. Fortunately for Miraldine, the detective and her assistant Audrey agree that Miraldine is being framed. Eager to see justice done, Miraldine demands to know who the prime suspect of the case is. It takes some convincing, but she eventually agrees to work with the detective in order to set a trap for Tarek's real killer.

When newspapers hit the stands revealing Tarek's murder - a fact Miraldine has been trying to keep out of the presses - she retreats onto the sea to avoid the annoying buzz of reporters. In her absence, Warfred is caught by Detective Brina and her assistants. She returns to land, helping to secure the Symbiont Helm that was used in Tarek's murder and now houses his eyeballs. Later she attends Warfred's trial, resulting in her claiming the majority of Warfred's assets as he's shipped off to Dreadhold for his crimes.
