The party is being escorted to the Corinthal Estate outside of Saerb. During the trek, it is unclear whether the Helm Commander, Fargo Pennerent, recognizes the disguised Mitoa and Sonya. The group learns that Aldond Talendar was also once a Helm, and was thought dead in a skirmish along the Daleland border, called the Battle of Rumblecoats. Upon reaching the estate, the group manages to escape. They head to Archenbridge to follow up on the details about Aldond's supposed dead, and his emergence with the sword of state, Aurumordic.
