	By the 860s, the Order in the Caliphate was secretly led by [[Qabiha]], the favorite [[concubine]] of the Caliph [[Al-Mutawakkil]], who was the Ancients' puppet. Under her leadership, they focused their efforts on excavating Isu ruins in the [[Wilderness\|desert]] around Baghdad, enslaving people to use as a workforce at their [[Excavation Site, Baghdad\|dig sites]].

	Following Al-Mutawakkil's death in December 861, Qabiha's influence started to dwindle and the Order ramped up their efforts to find Isu artifacts, which [[Fazil Fahim al-Kemsa]] used to build his "Great Work", the [[Alruh]]; a machine capable of deciphering the contents of [[Memory Seals]]. As the Ancients tried to strengthen their control over Baghdad, they faced heavy opposition from the [[Hidden Ones of Alamut]], particularly [[Basim ~~Ibn~~ Ishaq]], who assassinated Fazil, as well as [[Mas'ood Al-Ya'qoob]], who was placed in charge of acquiring workers for the Order's dig sites; [[Ning]], who controlled all trade in and out of Baghdad; and [[Wasif al-Turki\|Wasif Al-Turki]], who led the Caliphate's [[Turkic Army]].<ref name="ACMir" />		Following Al-Mutawakkil's death in December 861, Qabiha's influence started to dwindle and the Order ramped up their efforts to find Isu artifacts, which [[Fazil Fahim al-Kemsa]] used to build his "Great Work", the [[Alruh]]; a machine capable of deciphering the contents of [[Memory Seals]].

	By the 870s, the Order in Francia was under the leadership of [[Louis II of Italy\|Louis II]] of [[Italy]], while in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, King [[Alfred the Great\|Alfred of Wessex]] had inherited the title of Grand Maegester from his brother Æthelred. Unlike his father and brother, Alfred despised the Order, seeing their goals and existence as an affront to God and his Christian beliefs. With his confidant [[Goodwin]], Alfred devised a plan to destroy the the Ancients from within.
