1365 - The sires take the time to train their childer, the perfect excuse for Infurious to stay in lientz. The sires secretly search for any remaining sign of the Baali.

The sires eventually conclude that the town is clear of the Baali menace but they find no sign of any being called Shaitan. If it was not for the eye witness account by Anniballe they would end their search here.
