Axel leaves the Karana Institute and soon finds himself in a land called Zandaqa. He cautiously goes on. The region is highly populated and there seems to be much activity. Despite all the work that is going on Zandaqa does not give the appearance of prosperity or technological advancement. The people are not particularly friendly. He sees no smile on their faces even for each other. Some of the people even have their faces covered. As Axel passes through the land he is met by a large, strong looking man who identifies himself as Faisal. He tells Axel that he is the one in charge of keeping order in this land. He asks Axel what he is doing here and where he is going. Axel apologizes for trespassing on Faisal’s land and tells him that he is on the way to Kialo. Faisal tells Axel that it is fine to enter Zandaqa as long as one plans on staying but going to Kialo by way of Zandaqa is strictly forbidden.
