The mouth of the land of the dead

Lyra thanks No-Name for leading them to the mouth. Lyra gives No-Name a proper name of ‘Gracious Wings’.

Roger is the first ghost to leave the land of the dead. He says that he isn’t scared because he will be part of the wind and the sun and all living things, and Lyra says that when she dies they will be together because she will become the same.

As he prepares to leave the land of the dead, Jopari tells the children that any individual can only survive in the world they were born in, and that if they spend time in another world their lives will be rapidly shortened. That is why he has become so weak.

Jopari exits and becomes nothing and one with all living things.
