While in Sun's Refuge, Ziya met with the Commander's companion Braham Eirsson who was curious to learn why most djinn were immune to being Branded, and she occasionally answered some of his questions vaguely while at other times she let him wait for a response as she dedicated herself to more pressing matters. The Commander gratefully accepted Ziya's help and invited her to Sun's Refuge, and Ziya eagerly traveled to the sanctuary as she now had a personal vendetta against the Kralkatorrik whose Brand had taken Vemyen from her. She conversed with the Pact Commander afterwards, stating that she would keep her word by aiding the Commander in the late Vemyen's place. Ziya could do nothing but watch in disbelief as her nemesis and friend faded away but she did not allow herself time to grieve. In the end Ziya and the adventurers won and witnessed Vemyen's last moments where the dying djinn thanked them for freeing him and asked Ziya to take both her staff and his ring and keep them as mementos. However, the Branded djinn turned out to be a powerful adversary, and in the end Ziya had to drop her shield and leave the party members to protect themselves on their own terms.ĭuring the clash Ziya discovered that the Brandstones which Vemyen was drawing power from were connected via a specific resonance, and urged the adventurers to break them so they could damage the Branded djinn. However, she realized she was wrong when Vemyen attacked her and the party, and she had to focus on casting a protective shield to stop the damaging effects of the Brand while the rest of the party fought Vemyen. Vemyen pleaded for Ziya to leave after he was forced to reveal himself in his worsened state, but Ziya believed that his appearance as Branded was a trick because she was certain that djinn could not be Branded. The party eventually located Vemyen who was hiding in the remote Claw Den in the midst of the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik's extended Dragonbrand. After asking around and learning that the local djinn had not seen Vemyen either, she grew angry at Vemyen being late and convinced the exploring Pact Commander and other adventurers to accompany her on a quest to find Vemyen, promising to entrap the djinn in a bottle and then hand him over to the adventurers to be their slave as punishment for tardiness. Ziya arrived at Kodonur Temple in Jahai Bluffs in 1331 AE, only to find no trace of Vemyen despite their promise to meet there on that exact day. The latest theft between the pair occurred in 1231 AE, and Ziya became eager to meet Vemyen again so she could return the stolen item, a ring, and receive her item, a staff, back as well as scold him once more. She trapped Vemyen in what she claimed had been a bottle 500 years ago but later learned that he had escaped his prison somehow much to her confusion. Ziya in particular wanted to prove herself better in every way and often taunted Vemyen, mocking him for his interest in mortals. Ziya and Vemyen were djinn who became rivals, stealing each other's artifacts before reuniting and returning the items and then repeating the process every hundred years.
