The group returns to Aydensfell, the city of mages, and the Archmage explains to them that the kidnapping of Kayn'dar had, in fact, been orchestrated by himself and Raul, as an attempt to learn more about elven healing magic. When the experiment had failed, Raul and "Silvah," the personality that inhabited Kayn'dar's body, had left and become reclusive. Acheron, Lei'ella, Varden, and Neirren decide to go back to the forest of Inverloch and seek aid from the elves. They determine that, if there is a way to overcome Silvah and restore Kayn'dar's soul, they will first have to get him away from Raul's influence.
