Endgame
After finding all the owls in the five main Tales of Arise realms, you won't be hunting for more for several more hours. Be warned, this is where the story spoilers start.

After you land, you'll get a notification letting you know that there are more owls back on Dhana to find. You're free to fast travel back to Dhana at this point, so you can head right back over to scout them out if you please.
