Main article: List of Deltora Quest characters The Belt now holds the topaz and ruby and now they journey towards the City of the Rats. Soldeen is a man named Nanion and gives the three companions the gem and wishes them well on their quest. All of Thaegan's spells are broken: the Ralads can now speak and the Lake of Tears turns back into the city of D'Or. Just as Thaegan is about to kill them all, Jasmine's bird Kree comes and kills Thaegan by drawing blood. The ruby flies out of Lief's hand and into the depths of the Lake as Thaegan uses her magic to harm them. As Soldeen agrees, Thaegan appears and threatens to kill them all. Using the power of the topaz, Lief persuades Soldeen to give them the ruby. Soldeen is a giant fish-like creature who is very deadly and has the ability to speak. When they get to the Lake of Tears, the monster Soldeen attacks them. Lief, Barda, and Jasmine tell the Ralads that they must journey to the Lake of Tears, despite the Ralads pleas, but they do not tell them they are going in quest of one of the gems of the Belt of Deltora.

Only when the Ralad people hear the companions, they come out of hiding. They eventually defeat Jin and Jod and journey to the city of Raladin, where Manus hopes to find his people. The companions, with Manus, escape from the Grey Guards only to be captured by Jin and Jod, two of Thaegan's children. Lief, Barda, and Jasmine also learn that Thaegan put a spell on the city of D'Or and turned it into the Lake of Tears.

100 years ago, Thaegan put a spell on Raladin that caused them and all of their offspring to never be able to speak. As the companions travel through the countryside they rescue a man named Manus from the Shadow Lord's servants, Grey Guards. They learn that the land surrounding the Lake of Tears is controlled by the evil sorceress Thaegan, who has 13 monster children. They continue on their way to the Lake of Tears, to retrieve the ruby. In The Forests of Silence, the topaz had been retrieved by Lief, Barda, and Jasmine.
