| - In the chapter one epilogue, Fenthick joins Desther, Aribeth, and Lord Nasher Alagondar in the ceremony intended to create a cure for the Wailing Death. To help strengthen the cure, he has given his ward key to Desther, so that Desther might channel the magic of Helm through Castle Never's wards and into the ceremony. When Desther uses this key to steal the cure and escape through a portal, Fenthick is confused by this betrayal. While others had misgivings about Desther, Fenthick had been the one to offer assurances that Desther could be trusted. Seeing evidence of Desther's treachery is too much for Fenthick to accept, so he follows Desther before the portal closes, in a vain attempt to help establish that things are not as they appear.

| - In the chapter one epilogue, Fenthick joins Desther, Aribeth, and Lord Nasher Alagondar in the ceremony intended to create a cure for the Wailing Death. To help strengthen the cure, he has given his ward key to Desther, so that Desther might channel the magic of Helm through Castle Never's wards and into the ceremony. When Desther uses this key to steal the cure and escape through a portal, Fenthick is confused by this betrayal. While others had misgivings about Desther, Fenthick had been the one to offer assurances that Desther could be trusted. Seeing evidence of Desther's treachery is too much for Fenthick to accept, so he follows Desther before the portal closes, in a vain attempt to help establish that things are not as they appear. When the pursuit catches up with him, Fenthick is found, distraught and sobbing, in Helm's Hold. He has come to accept that Desther is not who he thought he was, and that many had died because of Fenthick's trust. Broken in spirit, Fenthick willingly awaits incarceration and judgment, ready to face any consequences of his actions. Any aside from the face of his lover, Aribeth. Desther's execution would bring little satisfaction to the people of Neverwinter, so attention turns to his closest friend, Fenthick. The letter of the law finds Fenthick negligent, and he is hanged as a sacrifice to appease the bloodthirsty mob. Since duty requires all to act as one until the source of the plague is found, no one would protest the injustice of the sentence. However, Fenthick would remain a sore subject for Aribeth.
