## Role in the Plot

### In CrossWorlds

Seekers arrive in Ba'kii Kum looking for the Yellow Sand Shade to access the Faj'ro Temple. Here, they meet with the Eldress, who offers an arrangement where the Seekers can receive the Shade in exchange for helping the Shad with a Tim infestation. This starts the mandatory Maroon Tree Defender quest. For completing the quest, the Eldress gives the Shiny Orb to Seekers, allowing them to activate the statue in the market and receive the Shade.

### In CrossCode

Lea and Emilie arrive in Ba'kii Kum and obtain the Maroon Tree Defender quest, after which Emilie logs out to complete her assignment. Lea presses Sergey for details about her life outside the game, before also logging off. When she logs back in the next day, Emilie is offline, so she contacts C'tron and they agree to complete the quest together.

Lea and C'tron return to Ba'kii Kum at the end of the Maroon Tree Defender quest to turn it in and collect the Yellow Sand Shade, with Emilie catching up to them soon afterward. However, they run into Apollo and Joern, and Apollo challenges Lea to a second duel in front of the Faj'ro Temple.

In the A New Home DLC, Lea and C'tron return to Ba'kii Kum in an attempt to help C'tron recover his memories.
