Seven years before the events of The Golden Door, Chieftain Olt, in order to prolong his life, ordered for seven young and beautiful people to be sacrificed for the Gifting. During this time, Faene D'Or'sparents were killed trying to prevent Olt's men from taking the children of Fleet. Both were buried in a grave in the garden at Fleet.[1]
The Golden Door
Rye and Sonia were brought to Fleet by Magnus FitzFee after he saved them from a bloodhog. While travelling to Fleet, Sonia noticed the various fields filled with horses and soon learned of their importance to Fleet and its people. During their stay in Fleet, Rye and Sonia met Nanion, the current chief of Fleet and they learned of his plan to evacuate the citizens of Fleet and flee Dorne. Sonia and Rye also discovered the grave of Faene's parents and met Faene herself who explained that Dirk had stayed in Fleet for a time. Soon after this however, Olt's men known as Gifters entered the town and managed to discover Faene and Sonia hiding in a small cavity hidden under the gravestone of Faene's parents. Rye subsequently left Fleet in order to save Sonia and Faene.[1]
During the events of Midsummer Eve, Nanion and the citizens of Fleet abandoned Dorne in order to travel to the Land of Dragons to escape Chieftain Olt.[1]
The Silver Door
After defeating Chieftain Olt in Oltan, Rye, Sonia, Dirk and Faene returned to Fleet only to discover that it had been abandoned. While in Fleet, Faene knelt before her parent's grave. A message was also left on the Fleet welcome board after Nanion and the people of Fleet abandoned Dorne. It contained a secret code for Faene which read; 'FAENE! GO TO FITZFEE.'[2]
The Third Door

During the events of The Third Door, Rye and Sonia discover that the small city of Riverside was built on the remains of Fleet after it was abandoned during The Golden Door. Rye remarks that many of the houses and shops of Riverside were built around tall rock chimneys that were hollowed out by clinks and had survived since Fleet was abandoned.[3]

Faene, the daughter of the chiefs of Fleet before the events of The Golden Door, promised to meet Janna, a descendant of the people from Fleet who now reside in D'Or in Deltora. They promised to stand before the stone in Riverside that bore the names of Faene's parents. The stone was respected in the new town of Riverside as it was in Fleet.[3]
