Brianne entered in the tenth Rithmere games, and became Champion. Like past victors she intended to return home with her gold coins and use them to help her hometown, but was captured by Grey Guards after being tricked by Mother Brightly. She was taken to the Shadowlands to fight in the Shadow Arena, and became increasingly bitter as the Grey Guards told her that her people hated her as they believed she had abandoned them. Brianne managed to escape from the Arena at one point, becoming the second Deltoran to successfully do it, and met Claw in the wilderness of the Shadowlands. They, along with Gers who later joined them, acted as a resistance group in the Shadowlands.
