Taking Over the Area

Fran did not arrive at White Dragon Port's harbor until the evening of the fourth day after The Alliance occupied White Dragon Port.

In fact, she and the members of the Territory Mage Working Group she belonged to had arrived outside White Dragon Port by ship on the morning of the agreed-upon second day.
