Walkthrough questions.

Can someone explain under what conditions the old judge dies? I've completed all the quests available before choosing between light and darkness, including the initiation quests, except for the Arcomage quest, as I haven't been able to access the second tavern yet. I've also been to Eoful, although I haven't freed Roland yet. So far, my main activities in the game have been going to the arena and hunting bounties. It's currently November of the first year in the game, and thanks to the genie lamps, almost all the characters' skills are at the grandmaster level, but I can't learn any new skills because I haven't reached the required rank yet.
