Description
Mistress Maria is one of the powerful sorceresses in the Carnival of Light. She was one of the first to join the Carnival of Light, back when she was a simple mystic. Now, she has earned her place within the core of the group and intends to do whatever she can to help First Ward.
Missions
Part One: Past Debts Due
Briefing
Character, it is time to do the things left undone in Sorceress Serene's wake. I think we can both agree that the first thing we should do is release poor Katie Douglas from the Seer Network.
She will need a familiar face to regain her bearings and I think you would do well to be the one to release her.
- Agreed.
Good, I only hope that once released she is willing to help me study some strange psychic disturbances I've been sensing. First Ward has always had strange psychic activity, especially with the arrival of the Vortex, but this is both familiar and strange at the same time. That these disturbances started following Serene's death cannot be a coincidence.
I will continue looking for a pattern in these disturbances, but I could certainly use Katie's help.
Release Katie Douglas from the Seer Network
Unnecessary Solicitation
The longer Katie stays in the Network, the more apprehensive she will become. She may have the body of an adult, but she still has the mind of a teenage girl. She will not easily forgive what had to be done, even if she knows it was for the best.

Whispering Coyote
Briefing
Ki-yi-yi! I am Whispering Coyote, Blind Makwa's spirit companion. Ki-yi-yi!
Ki-yi! The barrier between worlds has grown weak. The Netherworld is merging with First Ward to create the Night Ward! If it continues, then disaster will befall everyone, ki-yi-yi!
First, you must rescue Katie Douglas, she is the key to it all! I will guide you through the Night Ward to her. A tear is opening now! You must go through it and trust me, ki-yi-yi! Just be careful, the Drudges are here!
- I suppose I don't have much of a choice...!

- Enter the portal into Night Ward
- Go with Whispering Coyote to Katie Douglas
Something mysterious is happening and you aren't exactly sure who or what is behind it. Return to Mistress Maria to get to the bottom of this mystery.
Debriefing
You did it! I can sense Katie's mind once more, but the spirit world is merging closer to our own with every heartbeat, Character.
I spoke with Blind Makwa, and according to him, Whispering Coyote believes that the secret to stopping the transition lies within the Midnight Mansion... well now it seems we have recovered our means to return there, assuming Katie is willing to help.
