[edit] Plot
Wednesday has come, and Arthur Penhaligon has received an invitation for lunch with Lady Wednesday, self-styled Duchess of the Border Sea. Although uncertain as always, Arthur agrees to an alliance with Drowned Wednesday, whose miserable gluttony threatens the destruction of the Border Sea. If he can recover the Third Part of the Architect's Will and end her gluttony, she will surrender the third key willingly. However, to do this, Arthur must defeat the vicious pirate Feverfew, save the crews of those captured by said pirate, and rescue his friend Leaf, who has been caught up in the adventure.
