She reveals she died branded as a traitor’s daughter, and her testimony shatters him. Cast into a realm of trials, Elias confronts those he wronged, his late wife, and finally his own ruthless self. Choosing mercy over fear, he earns release through Clara’s forgiveness. Returned to life, Elias renounces pride and seeks redemption among his people.
