'''Volume 9 – Epilogue''' is the 101st and final chapter of [[Volume 9]].

== tl;dr ==
Tally of the dead, remorse of the survivors. [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] is the size of a [[Fraerlings|Fraerling]] now and haggles with the [[System]].

== Synopsis ==
As the closing chapter of Volume 9, it shows the the consequences of what happened during the Solstice via multiple character perspectives:

* [[Rémi|Rémi Canada]] has survived the [[Undead|Zombie]] attack, and is now broadcasting a report on the events of the Solstice, commonly called Night of Bloodtear. He reveals to the world that truth spells cannot be relied upon when it comes to high-level individuals, embarrassing [[Eldavin]] in the process. His thoughts confirm the status of multiple characters to the reader:
** [[Moore|Moore of Raithland]] - ''Deceased''
** [[Ulinde]] - ''Deceased''
** [[Seborn Sailwinds]] - ''Alive''
** [[Jelaqua Ivirith]] - ''Alive''
** [[Perorn Sadiluc|Perorn Fleethoof]] - ''Alive''
** Captain Ixeth - ''Deceased''
** Captain Yameth - ''Deceased''
** [[Redscar]] - ''Alive''
** [[Redscar|Thunderfur]] - ''Deceased''
** [[George Coleman]] - ''Deceased''
** [[Kevin Hall]] - ''Deceased''
** [[Imani]] - ''Alive''
* [[Salvia|Major Salvia]], who fought alongside [[Gershal]] and [[Zel Shivertail]] against the [[Goblin Lords|Goblin Lord]] [[Reiss]], is part of a huge funeral procession to honor his death. His home city, [[Vaunt]], did not appreciate him previously, and is now confused and overwhelmed. After the funeral, Salvia is approached by [[Basal|Captain Basal]] and offered Gershal's sword, which he left to her in his will. After much deliberation, she takes it.
* After [The Binding of House Reinhart] has been lifted from [[Reinhart Family|Magnolia's family]], they are starting to terrorize the citizens and other nobles again. [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]] herself is recovering from the cursed ammunition she got shot with in [[Chapter 9.68|9.68]], along with [[Ressa]]. [[Teriarch]] and [[Taletevirion]] are slowly healing them, and it is revealed that Magnolia has taken in [[Ressga]] as a [Maid] and [[Chesacre]] as a [Butler].
* In the [[Antinium]] Hives, the [[Flying Queen]] is performing the [[Rite of Anastases]] on [[Pivr]]. His soul now inhabits the body of [[Devrkr|Devrkr the Glowing]], which was obtained as part of the deal with [[Kasigna]], along with the bodies of the 3 Queens of Izril that died during the Antinium Wars. <br/>The [[Armored Queen]], who has performed the Rite on [[Antherr Twotwentyonethree Herodotus|Antherr]], is watching rogue Antinium trying to find [[Embraim|Embraim's]] lantern. Inspired by them, she inherits the Knight's flame of glory. <br/>Meanwhile, the [[Twisted Queen]] is working on a body for [[Anand]], whose soul had been carried by [[Wrymvr]] in secret, deceiving [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] and the other Queens.
* [[Az’kerash|Az'kerash]] mourns [[Ijvani|Ijvani's]] death and observes that [[Nerrhavia]], her servants, and [[Toren]] have fled his castle. Having lost most of the things that made him more human, he embraces his nature as a [[Liches|lich]] again.
* [[Visophecin]] is punished for his failure in judgement. House Shoel exiles him, only to return when he has found something that could make up for the deaths of 24 [[Lucifen]] that he caused.
* Most of the people that were sailing with Erin are now on the ''Trone's Will'', approaching [[Baleros]]. [[Ksmvr]] and [[Vofea]] are with them, while the other [[Horns of Hammerad|Horns]] are supposedly alive and nearing [[Chandrar]].
* [[Pisces Jealnet|Pisces]] and [[Colthei|Colth]], having completed the [[Quests|Mythical Quest]] to kill [[Iertalinam|Iert]], are being carried to Candrar by [[Silvenia Ettertree|Silvenia]]. They hope to finish what they started the last time they were on this continent.
* Kevin and many other dead souls are enjoying their stay in [[Hellste]] so far, and get to listen to the story of [[Goblins|Goblinkind]]. The readers, sadly, do not.
* A month after the Solstice, a young traveller stumbles upon a relocated Wandering Inn, just in time to hear the news that Erin has been found on Baleros. [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] wishes for Erin not to return yet, as there are apparently some complications with [[Liscor]], whose surroundings have been saturated with death mana.
* Directly after the Solstice, [[Cauwine]] resignes herself to becoming incorporeal for another half-year, but she discovers two new sources of faith. One is some of the [[Bloodtear Pirates|[Pirates]]] who fled the battle, and the other is a group of [[Sariant Lambs]], the latter of which she is relieved by.
* Erin has been polymorphed into a [[Fraerlings|Fraerling]] by Silvenia, and refuses the Skills given to her by the [[Grand Design of Isthekenous|Grand Design]]. This leads to a back-and-forth where the Grand Design proposes multiple capstones to her, and she rejects all of them. After frustration and more conversation, the system builds a custom Skill for Erin, and she accepts it. In addition, it is stated that she has received multiple other Skills in [Witch], [Innkeeper], and [Dancer].
