In the moments after Lazarus's death, the Eye of Janthir revealed that Balthazar was establishing a presence in the Crystal Desert, intent on slaying Kralkatorrik. However, research into the magical energies of the world and the Elder Dragons has suggested that, with two Elder Dragons dead, if a third were to die, the world would be destroyed from the overload of magical energy. The White Mantle is broken, and Lazarus the Dire, last of the Mursaat, is truly dead, at last.

The direct threats posed by the Elder Dragons Jormag and Primordus have abated, with both dragons once again asleep and inactive. Path of Fire was released on September 22nd, 2017.
