West, back into the badlands towards civilization.

With seemingly no reasonable explanation, Karith decides to travel back through the badlands towards civilization. However, without the proper provisions he starves to **** before the week-long journey can be completed.

The talisman is never recovered and the **** of Karith's parents is never avenged. Karith dies a miserable, slow **** in the badlands and he is never remembered in any tale nor book.

The End
