Synopsis: After the deal between Balor and Merwyn, Balor and his apprentice Fenrick head with Captain Eredin and his scouting party to gather information so as to begin the conquest of other lands through the veil between worlds. Travelling through the portal created by Balor he realises the true sacrifice he must make to obtain chaos magic. Killing Kendrick, the Chaos magic flows through and into Balor who uses it to send Eredin and his men to another unknown world of fire for eternity. Entering through the gates of Xin’trea disguised as the royal army, the seven split up to complete their mission.

As the Lark rallies the lowborn of Xin’trea to rise up against their overlords, Scion takes Fjall to Queen Merwyn so Fjall may kill Balor’s beast and she may reclaim her tribe’s sword. But Merwyn renounces her deal and has Scion taken away to be executed. Telling Fjall that everything she had done to secure her position was necessary, sends Fjall into a Witcher rage.

While Merwyn escapes to her room, her royal guards are killed and he focuses his attention on the beast. After killing her captors, Scion lets the others into the palace. While the Mages, Syndril and Zacare, head to destroy the master Monolith, Scion, Brother Death and Meldof defend their position to allow Eile to confront and kill Merwyn with a knife to her stomach in front of her rebelling populace. Battling the beast, Fjall’s rage transforms him further to increase his strength and allow him to kill the flying beast. But the dark magic coursing through him makes him turn on his fellow companions, taking the eye of Brother Death. Only Eile’s singing calms him enough for her to kill him with her blade.

Meanwhile, on reaching the Monolith Syndril and Zacare are caught by Balor returning from the other world. Pinned down by Balor’s new magic, Syndril uses Zacare’s binding powers to combine his magic with Balor’s chaos magic, destroying the monolith and killing Syndril in the process. The shattering of the monolith releases a great surge of energy that brings down the veil between worlds and starts the convergence of the spheres. In the aftermath of the convergence, the Continent is transformed with the arrival of men on its shores.

So too is Eile who is pregnant with her and Fjall’s child. With the Story of the Seven told, the timeless entity abandons Jaskier and his reality becomes the battlefield between humans and elves. In a mid-credit scene, Merwyn’s Mage, having discovered that the monoliths can be used to travel through time, watches on as a young Ciri plays with her young friends in Cintra.
