The Final Days
In this chapterThe Warrior of Light and the Scions travel to Garlemald and beyond to stop the Final Days, brought by the Telophoroi.
The Warrior and the Scions race to Thavnair, Garlemald, the moon and the edge of the universe to stop the Final Days. They discover that Meteion's despair was provoked by her observation of countless dying worlds. Zenos' ultimate duel with the Warrior ends in his death. At the end, Meteion and Zodiark are defeated, and the star is saved.
Endwalker closes the story that began in A Realm Reborn. Its theme is that life's value lies in its struggle, not in its permanence. Meteion's tragedy mirrors the Ascians': both were made for a purpose and then turned to despair. The Warrior's journey ends with hope: the world was saved by the choices of its inhabitants, not by a single hero.
