	In February 862, Rayhan received [[Aban]], an emissary of the [[Tahirids\|Tahirid]] governor who came to discuss the events in [[Baghdad]] causing problems for the Hidden Ones' alliance with the Tahirids. Aban claimed that the powers behind the [[Abbasid Caliphate\|Caliphate]] were putting pressure on the Tahirids, for the Hidden Ones were supporting the [[Zanj Rebellion\|Zanj rebels]] led by [[Ali ibn Muhammad]]. Rayhan was warned that if the Hidden Ones persisted in aiding the rebellion, the Tahirids would no longer be able to provide protection from their enemies and the Brotherhood would have to act fast.<ref name="A New Beginning" />		In February 862, Rayhan received [[Aban]], an emissary of the [[Tahirids\|Tahirid]] governor who came to discuss the events in [[Baghdad]] causing problems for the Hidden Ones' alliance with the Tahirids.

	Aban's warnings came true that night when a group of [[Mercenary\|mercenaries]] sent by the Order of the Ancients came to scout out the valley that the Hidden Ones' camp was situated in.

	After Basim completed his training, Rayhan and the rest of the Alamut Council formally [[Initiation into the Assassin Order\|inducted]] him into the Brotherhood. However, shortly after Basim's initiation, Nur returned to Alamut gravely wounded, as the Order had attacked him during his investigation and captured Ali.
