The peace is shattered when a rogue band of Crusaders, led by a man claiming to have a mandate from a distant king, arrives demanding the "infidels" be purged from the oasis. They recognize Elian and demand he lead them.
Elian discovers a remote, unnamed village where a mix of Christian refugees, Sufi mystics, and Bedouin traders live in a fragile, unwritten peace. There is no church and no mosque—only a shared well and a stone wall that Elian is hired to repair. He finds purpose not in the "glory of God," but in the welfare of the people, echoing Balian’s work in the desert.
