Diplomatic action
Szaifudrus stumbles upon Emrul's domain of Chikhtʼ Siggel, and spends two months outside of it trying to gain audience with Emrul. When he finally does, they work out their pact - the free knowledge of magic, in return for uniting the region and making Emrul the sole state-sponsored deity - so as long as Szaifudrus teaches no one else what he has learned. Szaifudrus accepts, and returns to Aranorin.
