I was thinking things were getting quiet here. I sometimes forget that this can be a busy time of the year in some parts of the world.

@Trapeziod, I hope you remember that Ifrit is only a Rogue Being. Yes, the battle will be dramatic, but he'll still have a really hard time razing Paterdomus, even with a lot of the army out on crusades. Just remember.
 
 
Oh, and this applies to everybody: you may have read that the sun and sky just turned red. This is a rather obvious change to anyone with a view of the sky. It is also a permanent change, until further notice. It will be a troubling sign to many humans. I would like it if everyone were not to casually ignore this rather significant and ubiquitous event.
