	After proving successful at killing Genghis Khan in 1227, Maria and Altaïr, both in their mid-sixties, slowly rode home on their horses, followed by Darim. Once inside the village, the atmosphere began to grow eerie; the younger children who did not recognize the Master rushed around excitedly, while the older villagers watched the three warily. The first to welcome them was Swami, who was still an Apprentice when Altaïr left. When [[Rauf]], who Altaïr had initially requested to greet them in his letters, was mentioned, Swami told them he had died of a fever some years ago, at which Altaïr asked why he hadn't been informed; however, no explanation was given.

	Assuming that their quarters had already been prepared, Swami responded again, negatively; instead, he directed them to a cabin on the western side of the [[Forts\|fortress]], telling them they would be accommodated there for the time being. Inside the citadel, even the [[guards]] acted like the villagers – keen to avoid all eye-contact, instead of welcoming them. When Maria asked where Sef was, Swami told them he had to travel to [[Alamut]]. Then, as Altaïr snapped and told Swami to get Malik at once, he informed them that Malik had been imprisoned, thus he could not.

	===The council meeting===		===The council meeting===
	The council was composed of ten men including the chairman, all of whom sided with Abbas. The main reason for this council was to hear Altaïr's account of his journey to the East, an opportunity used by Abbas to humiliate the Assassin. During the meeting, Altaïr was informed of the reason behind Malik's imprisonment – that he had apparantly killed Sef, the Master's youngest son. This was a lie, however, to set the Assassin against Malik and enrage him, as well as purvey to the council that Altaïr was emotionally unstable and therefore unable to resume his leadership of the Order.<ref name="TSC"/>		The council was composed of ten men including the chairman, all of whom sided with Abbas.

	Later, after the meeting was concluded, Maria and Altaïr were huddled together in their room, reviewing everything that had happened and questioning what to believe. As doubt troubled Altaïr, he snuck his way to the Masyaf dungeons, driven by the curiosity of whoever was truly guilty for Sef's murder. There, he found Malik, emaciated and neglected in a cell, kept under watch by a sleeping guard. Altaïr brought him to the safety of his room, knowing finally that his old friend wasn't the killer.<ref name="TSC"/>		Later, after the meeting was concluded, Maria and Altaïr were huddled together in their room, reviewing everything that had happened and questioning what to believe.

	After finding his answers, Altaïr thought it was time to confront Abbas, to dispute the accusation made against Sef's murder.

	Confronting Abbas, Altaïr was instructed to hand over his [[Apple of Eden 2\|Apple of Eden]].

	The training of Assassins had been stopped permanently, and the protection the Order once gave to the area was neglected, leaving the trade routes unguarded and open to criminal influences.
