When they approached Russell about a ship, they were offended when he expected them to pay for one. Their leader offered a locket for a ship, but later did not have it when Russell asked about it. Before he left, Russell also offered to sell the Avatar the deed to a fine sailing ship, 'The Nymphet', for a hefty sum of 600 gold pieces, and a fine sextant for a mere 40 gold pieces. As the Avatar continued his quest, Russell remained in New Magincia, building his dreams.

Boris also mentioned the three shipwreck survivors: Robin, Battles, and Leavell, who had all survived the destruction of their ship, built by Owen of Minoc. As they spoke, the Avatar asked about a locket, given to Henry by Katrina to give to his love Constance, that had been taken by Robin and his companions, but was lost while they visited the Modest Damsel. At first Boris was evasive, but soon confessed that he had taken the locket, but when he went to return it to the Avatar, he found it missing from its hiding place. As the Avatar continued his quest, Boris remained in New Magincia, running his business.

When asked about it, Magenta remarked that she had found it in a secret hiding place in her husband's bar, and had assumed that Boris meant it as a surprise for her. When the Avatar explained the story behind the missing locket, Magenta placed it in his hands and instructed the Avatar to return it. As the Avatar continued his quest, Magenta remained in New Magincia, guiding the city.

These strangers, Robin, Battles, and Leavell, were the survivors of a shipwreck, and were seeking a way to return to Buccaneer's Den. Suspicious, Henry asked the Avatar's help in recovering the missing locket, and after a small quest, the Avatar returned the gold locket to Henry. Elated, Henry thanked the Avatar and rushed off to present it to Constance. As the Avatar continued his quest, Henry remained in New Magincia, selling his wares.

As they spoke, Constance revealed that she had found new love, the mysterious and charming Robin, a shipwreck survivor, who had traveled with his two companions, Battles and Leavell. After speaking with Henry, the Avatar undertook a small quest to find the missing locket, and later returned it to Henry. When Constance was informed, she immediately regretted her actions toward Henry, and promised to apologize to him. The Avatar also revealed Robin's plans for Constance to sell to Glenno, the owner of the Baths on Buccaneer's Den, in the hopes of raising money. Shocked, Constance vowed to stay away from the scoundrel. As the Avatar continued his quest, Constance remained in New Magincia, carrying water for the people of the town.

Sailing a ship crafted by Owen of Minoc, the three men sailed the seas of Britannia, but the ship soon broke apart, casting them ashore on New Magincia. When the Avatar arrived in New Magincia, Robin greeted the Champion of Virtue, and immediately asked if he owned a ship capable of taking them off the island. When the Avatar asked why, Robin admitted that they could not afford to purchase a ship from Russell, as a gold locket they had intended to sell for money was lost. When the Avatar asked about Buccaneer's Den, Robin warned him to watch out for the many rough characters, and in particular the man named Hook, who Robin warned, would kill anyone for a trifle.

As they spoke, Robin confessed that he had another plan to gain money, and would pay the Avatar well for travel to Buccaneer's Den. When asked about the plan, Robin spoke of Constance, the young waterbearer of New Magincia, whom he planned to sell to Glenno, the owner of the Baths on Buccaneer's Den. After a short quest, the Avatar recovered the missing locket, and after learning the truth, returned it to its rightful owner, Henry. As for Constance, the Avatar explained Robin's nefarious plans for her, and she agreed to stay away from him. However, when the he told Robin where his ship was located, the evil man and his group attacked the Avatar. After a short and bloody battle, Robin and his cohorts lay dead, and the Avatar continued his quest.

As they spoke, Battles confessed his boredom on New Magincia, expressing his disbelief in the townspeople's lack of education about gambling. When the Avatar referred to the gold locket Robin had spoke about, Battles admitted that he had last seen it before the crew went drinking at the Modest Damsel. After a short quest, the Avatar recovered the missing locket, and after learning the truth, returned it to its rightful owner, Henry. However, when the he told Robin where his ship was located, Battles and his crew attacked the Avatar. After a short and bloody battle, Battles and his friends lay dead, and the Avatar continued his quest.

As they spoke, Leavell expressed his admiration of Battles, commenting on the man's cat-like reflexes and sharp eyes, and of his debt to Robin, who had kept him out of prison. Leavell also made a side comment about Robin's constant remarks about Lord British, and wondered if perhaps the man wasn't royalty, a charge that Robin quickly hushed. When the Avatar asked about their stay on New Magincia, Leavell quickly dismissed the townspeople as peasant fools, but remarked that Avatar, the waterbearer, had caught their eye.

When the Avatar spoke of a missing locket, Leavell stated that he had no knowledge of it, but that the Avatar should speak with Robin about it. After a short quest, the Avatar recovered the missing locket, and after learning the truth, returned it to its rightful owner, Henry. However, when the he told Robin where his ship was located, Leavell and his companions attacked the Avatar. After a short and bloody battle, Leavell and the rest lay dead, and the Avatar continued his quest.

As they spoke, Sam mentioned the three strangers on the isle: Robin, who Sam privately believed had stolen a bouquet of flowers from his shop; Battles, who had sent a chill up Sam's spine when they met; and Leavell, who had seemed friendly but had mentioned Constance often before the others shushed him. Before he left, Sam offered to sell a bouquet of flowers to the Avatar for a mere 12 gold pieces. As the Avatar continued his quest, Sam remained in New Magincia, selling lovely flowers to all that asked.

Alagner observed that the Fellowship's philosophy of the 'Triad of Inner Strength' seemed a bit optimistic, but when examined more closely proved to be a fallacy. Their first value of 'Strive for Unity' implied that they worked toward harmony and one goal with all, but Alagner found that most Fellowship members considered themselves an elite and prejudicial group, and if one was not with them, that person was in mortal danger. Their second value of 'Trust Thy Brother' seemed to imply that all Fellowship members should trust each other implicitly, but as Alagner more closely examined the group, he found that the Fellowship expected members to do whatever was expected of them regardless of the implications or consequences in a 'do as we say and do not question it' attitude. Finally, their third value of 'Worthiness Preceeds Reward' implied that Fellowship members would be rewarded for their good deeds toward the group, but Alagner realized that anyone that did not do good deeds for the Fellowship would receive a different style of reward. After twenty years of expansion, the Fellowship had duped the masses of Britannia and had grown incredibly strong in support.

As he dug deeper, Alagner revealed a surprising truth about how the Fellowship was broken into three grades of members: Grade One, which consisted of the general masses of members who joined the Fellowship, in hopes that their lives would be helped in some way; Grade Two, consisting of the various branch leaders of the Fellowship, forming an inner circle of members; and finally, Grade Three, the administrative leaders of the Fellowship, such as Batlin, and the mysterious brother and sister Elizabeth and Abraham who traveled Britannia collecting and distributing the Fellowship's funds. Alagner learned the sinister truth: these elite Grade Three members would serve as lieutenants to a malevolent being known as the Guardian, who sought to gain power and dominion in Britannia. Alagner theorized that the recent troubles in Britannia were caused by the Guardian, including the instability of the Moongates, and the destructive nature of the ether in the lands. Alagner also realized that the Guardian was the strange 'inner voice' that Fellowship members heard when they joined the group.

The Avatar, following the advice of Margareta of Minoc, had sought out the mysterious Wisps of Yew, who had asked for the information in Alagner's notebook in return for a message from the Time Lord. When the Avatar asked to borrow the notebook, Alagner expressed his doubts about the Wisps, remarking on their aloof nature and their obsessive collection of knowledge, but promised to give it to the Avatar if he would obtain the answers to the questions of Life and Death from Caine, the Tortured One of Skara Brae. After a small quest on the isle of Skara Brae, the Avatar returned to Alagner with the answers. Grateful, Alagner loaned the Avatar his notebook, but only after he promised to return it as soon as he was done. After speaking to the Wisps, the Avatar returned to New Magincia to find a horrible sight. Alagner had been brutally murdered in a fashion that matched the death of Christopher the blacksmith in Trinsic. Remembering Alagner's crystal ball, a device that would show the events of the day before, the Avatar activated it to see Alagner being killed by Elizabeth, Abraham, Hook, and Forskis. Realizing that the Fellowship had caused the death of the sage, the Avatar continued his quest to save Britannia.
