The Archeins escorted them back to Thorn, which was nearly empty of Dunmer following Almalexia's call to arms to defend   against the  . Seeing this, Heita-Meen strangled Glathis with his own whip, and swiftly challenged the centurion of the Archein guards for her position by right-of-combat.

The Pact successfully defeated the invaders at the Battle of Ten-Maur-Wolk, and Hrondar was revealed to be an imposter.
