{{Spoiler|[[Initiate's Trial]]}}

''[[Third Age]] 5922'': After [[Arithon]]'s escape from captivity, [[Sethvir]] informs [[Kharadmon]] of [[Selidie]]'s plans to manipulate the [[True Sect]] within the bounds of [[Asandir]]'s vow of noninterference.

In early winter, [[Asandir]] returns to [[Althain Tower]] and discusses [[Selidie Prime]]'s plotting and [[Arithon]]'s recovery with [[Sethvir]]. [[Dakar]] learns that he has been unceremoniously released from his [[Fellowship]] apprenticeship since before the meeting with [[Selidie Prime]]. [[Sethvir]] and [[Asandir]] imply that this release is punishment for [[Dakar]]'s actions on the beach at [[Athir]] after the [[Siege of Alestron]], which ultimately led to [[Arithon]]'s capture by the [[Koriathain]]. In reality, they hope that [[Dakar]]'s free will can become a wild card workaround to their vow of noninterference.

[[Sethvir]] informs [[Asandir]] that [[Dakar]] has safely left [[Lorn]] for [[Halwythwood]] after speaking a prophecy concerning the death of the [[High Queen]] of [[Havish]]. After [[Asandir]] clears the flux lines in [[Tysan]], [[Sethvir]] shares images of the effects across [[Athera]].

[[Sethvir]] protects [[Elaira]] from [[Gestry s'Lornmein]]'s accession ceremony after her scrying pulls her too close to the event.

''[[Third Age]] 5923'': [[Sethvir]] observes the moment that [[Arithon]] recovers his mastery of Shadow and its effect on [[Lysaer]] at the ball attended by [[Daliana]].

When [[Dakar]] arrives in [[Halwythwood]], [[clansmen]] inform him that [[Sethvir]] passed the word about his loss of apprenticeship weeks ago.

[[Sethvir]] sends an emergency summons to [[Asandir]], who cannot respond until he faces down a young [[drake]] that entered through the [[North Gate]]. [[Sethvir]] wonders why [[Chaimistarizog]] is not guarding the other side of the gate. Reunited at [[Althain Tower]], [[Sethvir]] tells [[Asandir]] about [[Arithon]]'s attempts to flee [[Caithwood]] and asks him to travel to [[Havish]] to finish [[High King]] [[Gestry]]'s training. The pair discuss [[Selidie]]'s manipulation of [[True Sect]] direction, and how events might play out in [[Havish]] and [[Etarra]]. [[Sethvir]] also reveals [[Daliana]]'s predicament in [[Etarra]] and says that he has sent [[Traithe]] to support her.

[[Sethvir]] observes from [[Althain Tower]] as [[Arithon]] uses his music to anchor [[Tarens]]' identity. He warns [[Asandir]] that the pair will soon end up in [[Havish]]. They discuss the motivations behind the actions of [[Seshkrozchiel]] and [[Davien]], while recognizing that the resonance shift may have been enough to preserve [[Paravian]] survival and maintain the [[Compact]]. Later, he observes rule of [[Etarra]] transferred back to the [[True Sect]] and an invasion of [[Torwent]]. When [[Seshkrozchiel]] returns from [[Kathtairr]], he senses the [[Koriathain]] involved in a plot to refound their mastery of the [[Great Waystone]]. Observing through [[Lirenda]]'s willing consent, [[Sethvir]] forsees that their efforts will eventually be successful and [[Selidie Prime]] will realize that the Waystone's signature has changed, negating [[Athera]]'s empowerment to reject its power.

[[Sethvir]] summons [[Kharadmon]] and [[Luhaine]] back from [[Marak]] to assist with casting [[strands]]. The [[strands]] reveal that [[Lysaer]] will ultimately be affected by [[Selidie]]'s attempts to trigger the [[curse]] and foretell a "perniciuous disaster. Sethvir warns [[Davien]] that [[Seshkrozchiel]] is on the verge of a hibernation that might last for a millenium and that [[Davien]] might not survive if he remains bound to the [[drake]].

At [[Althain Tower]], [[Sethvir]] and [[Luhaine]] discuss [[Selidie Prime]]'s trap involving [[Elaira]]'s [[spell crystal]]. [[Sethvir]] reveals the whereabouts of the other [[Fellowship]] members and asks [[Luhaine]] to intervene with [[Seshkrozchiel]] on [[Davien]]'s behalf.

When [[Luhaine]] bargains to take [[Davien]]'s place through [[Seshkrozchiel]]'s hibernation, [[Sethvir]] hopes that [[Davien]] will return to [[Althain Tower]] to answer this debt.
