The party met Tariq's family. The local Kahina, an ancient woman named Farah, told Tariq "Great leaders do not seek to lead. They are called to it, and when that call arrives, they answer it"; "A sword can be more than just a sword"; "There is more than one way to win a Mubaraza"; "The masked man knows of what I speak." Roke gave Fjallraven to Farah and it killed her. They met with Milak, who was disturbed to learn of the "murder" of Farah. He challenged Tariq to a mubaraza, with a deadline of "when Ayu is highest in the sky tomorrow." If Tariq does not accept, him and the rest of the party will be banished from Jatoruk "from this day until the end of days."
