She eventually returned to the Old World. She met Magnus the Pious, who (she claims) tried to put his hand up her dress.
For several decades Genevieve worked as a tavern wench in Altdorf. In 2480 she was approached by Oswald von Konigswald who persuaded her to join his quest: to sneak into Castle Drachenfels and slay Constant Drachenfels.
Sometime afterwards she decided to withdraw from human society, retiring to a convent of the Order of Eternal Night and Solace.
In 2505 a restless Genevieve decided to return; being invited to the premier of the theatre play Drachenfels she returned to Castle Drachenfels. The she met Detlef Sierck, with whom she fell in love. Together they would manage to defeat the Great Enchanter for the last time.
