Moenbryda joins with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn when they sought a way to track Lady Iceheart. As an expert in Aetherology, she was able to locate the Aetheryte Lady Iceheart escaped to after she evaded capture. She explained the method which may have been used, as well as how the aetherytes work not as teleporters, but rather as beacons for the aether of those traveling through the Lifestream. Using the White Auracite, she channeled the Scions aether and was able to re-establish a connection to the aetheryte within the Akh Afah Amphitheatre, where the heretics and Lady Iceheart had hidden.
After their battle with Shiva, the Warrior of Light returned and recounted what they saw to Moenbryda. After investigating what happened, she determined that the Primal had merely been summoned by using Lady Iceheart's body as the catalyst, and it was in effect no different from any other summoning.
After some time, Moenbryda reveals the efforts of her study. the White Auracite is able to be used to temporarily house an Ascian soul, which could then be destroyed by a large enough burst of aether. Though the method of creating a blade of aether whenever they desired seemed to be the next hurdle, Moenbryda continued her studies in Northern Thanalan, where massive outcrops of aether-charged Crystals grow. Following the Warrior of Light taking out several Imperial squads at the Ceruleum Processing Plant, Moenbryda succeeds in drawing the vast amount of aether required to destroy a piece of White Auracite. When the Ascian Nabriales attacks Minfilia at the Rising Stones, the Warrior of Light temporarily defeats him, but he soon returned and continued his assault. Using the White Auracite, they were able to momentarily trap the Ascian, but without the blessing of Hydaelyn, the Warrior of Light was unable to summon enough aether to destroy him. Finally realizing why her old master, Louisoix sacrificed himself during the Seventh Umbral Calamity, she sacrificed herself and all of her aether to finally destroy the White Auracite, and the Ascian contained within.
