Wharton killed Abude and reunited with Hass’s group after they defeated most of their enemies, though Woss escaped. The group divided their military gains and received Sovereign Artifacts before continuing their hunt across the star river.

• Wharton traveled through the star river and passed nearby figures from the Dark and Light God Realms without attacking them.
