Huatli emerged with a fuller account of her people’s past and a harder diplomatic task. Aclazotz could rally forces above, the emperor could use the caverns to justify expansion and the Oltec needed time that every outside faction was eager to spend for them.
Quintorius treated the findings as evidence that scholarship must remain open to correction. Kellan treated the journey as another stage in learning how little a single heroic objective can contain. He had helped people whose struggle would continue after he followed the next clue toward Oko. After the battle, Kellan stood by Amalia when Aclazotz's true appetite for sacrifice shattered her old faith. He offered her a choice rather than a replacement creed. The two eventually found an Omenpath on an island and entered it together, while Amalia chose exploration over returning to the religious schism on Torrezon. Kellan did not leave Ixalan by abandoning Amalia or by planeswalking.
The caverns changed Ixalan by connecting histories rather than merely revealing a hidden location. Like the Omenpaths between planes, the opened door could carry understanding or conquest. Its existence was neutral; the relationships built through it would not be.
Saheeli and Huatli shared life on Ixalan after both lost their sparks. Omenpaths offered travel together rather than permanent isolation. Saheeli later returned to Avishkar.
