Beowolf becomes immortal by drinking Krohn's Philospher's Stone tincture. The party returns to Hilde, where they find a bizarro Hollin under the north pole. There, they defeat the Prodigy, the monster that violates the natural order, and see the sleeping Blind Idiot God, whose fitful dream is reality. They find Lethe's Star, and reinstalling it in Highpyre's tower, cement Beowolf as the Inkeri king.

Ignoring dire warnings from the Witches' Chorus, the party enters the Void Prison at the Well of Life.

Returning to al-Watan, the party and the Malik defeat Krohn and his djinn allies in a final confrontation at Krohn's citadel.

Escaping the coliseum, the party is attacked by Gafur's owner Alim and the Directorate, the inquisitors who exiled Ord.

At the Sun's Anvil, djinn tell the party that Krohn and the djinn high court have imprisoned Krohn's father and god, the Ninety-Nine's Malik.
