The party battles
Burden, eventually defeating him.
Afterwards, Burden accepts defeat and tells the party that he will grant Revana as his Champion, and that Sanglant isn't the champion of Wind.
It turns out that Cidmuir made Ekhart the Champion of Wind, without knowing.
Burden agreed to let the party be his champion, in exchange for them trying to find a way to bring the worlds closer together.
Burden agrees to stop messing with Dwarfheim, and will not use the Aetherite to attempt to get home.
The party leaves, and outside of Dwarfheim, they find Laef and Cidmuiur.
Apparently, Cidmuir has been getting his brother's messages in the Twinned Book, but his replies were not being received.
Cid and Laef have been trying to break the barrier and enter Dwarfheim for the past 3 weeks, which is how long the party had been trapped there.
During this time, Cid was able to build a Teleportation circle outside of Dwarfheim that is linked with the Teleportation Circle of the university.
The party decided to take a break and head back to civilization.
While at the University, the party discovered several things had happened while they were gone.
The Empire was, indeed, in the middle of a civil war.
High-ups of the Voltanian Government had stopped the distribution of the wanted posters of the party.
Ortelai had allied with Fairwyn against Voltana and Naverus.
Apparently, news of the elves of Loridael have suggested that, for some reason, the elves had allied with Fairwyn.

Ekhart also returned the two Polished Quartz he had, and instead got the Umberwood Staff from the Archives.
