Considering she was 'the kid' of the Scribble

Dorukan was "the kid."

As unlikely as it may be what if Belkar is related to Serini?

The climatic fight forces the Order to begin the same ritual to seal the gates and its Belkar who sacrifices himself to save creation?

It could be the only way to defeat whatever safeguards Serini has requires one of the adventurer's to sacrifice themselves to gain access.

Well Belkar is fated to die, what if his sacrifice causes Serini to reveal herself after witnessing the same tragedy that cost Kraagor his life?

What would that add to or change about the story?

And one by one, they've fallen to irony:
Lirian's fell to the nature it was protected by.

Dorukan's fell to good-hearted people being manipulated by an evil team.

Soon's fell to a fallen paladin trying to regain paladinhood by following in the most honorable paladin's footsteps.

Girard's fell to someone outside his enclave seeing right through his deception after they were slaughtered by someone that had no idea they existed.

So, the question is, how will/would Serini's Gate fall?

And to this point, Dorukan believed in wizard supremacy and was felled by a sorcerer; Girard only trusted family to guard his gate and was felled by a spell that targeted people through blood relations.

I'd say that's the most likely scenario. I'm guessing chilli powder would be enough to mess up a wargs scent ability. It might be the backstory behind Belkar taking Profession (Gourmet Chef); he wanted to know where to access the strongest of dog incapacitants.

Well, Belkar also just seems to love food and cooking, and with his halfling heightened senses, that makes sense.
