The body of the Emperor, Sandus, was recovered from the Culling Fields. It was interned in the Hall of Heroes in the Emperor’s Palace to full state ceremony, next to the preserved body of his wife. According to official history, he was slain by an unknown assailant, possibly demonic, after bringing Gadrith D’Lorus to justice.
Xaltorath was “banished” by Qoran Milligreest, Therin D’Mon, and Therin’s “slave” Miya. But the timing suggests that most of Xaltorath’s demons actually returned to Hell of their own accord, a short time after the Stone of Shackles was destroyed. It is a faux reprieve; now that their chains are broken, the demons are free to begin their war against the physical races anew, without restriction.
Qoran returned to the Citadel and, it was assumed, Therin D’Mon and Lady Miya returned to the Blue Palace.
However, this is the last time anyone can document seeing High Lord Therin D’Mon or Lady Miya. Just a short time after the main part of the fighting ended, a physicker discovered the site of the D’Mon massacre. It had claimed almost all remaining D’Mon members. We must assume it was the work of Miya, freed of the gaesh and become Khaeriel, Queen-in-Exile, once more. She must have retaliated against the family who’d kept her imprisoned.
High Lord Therin’s fate is unknown.
The D’Mon family has been devastated, reduced to a handful of members. And none of those remaining are easily available to petition Thaena for the Return of any others. With Therin missing and Darzin dead, their future is uncertain. Kihrin D’Mon’s location is uncertain too: the last anyone saw, he left the north gates of the City with several D’Mon riding horses, a Joratese groom, and a gray Jorat fireblood.
Urthaenriel is now loose again in the world. No demon may be safely summoned lest they run amok, which means no slave may be gaeshed.
People are saying it’s the end of the world.
My Empress, we know it’s just the beginning.
