[ The Knights fly on Wynn's order to Riyadh, a dust-steeped collection of elaborate skyscrapers and flashing lights that looks to be the closest Saharan analogue to Las Vegas. Dunes stretch out around the endless, otherwise level horizon where giant, clouded dust storms threaten.

Their target, for all the boons he has bestowed on the local populace, has been enjoying a charmed life in one of the Ritz-Carlton, an anachronism of culture that more closely resembles the White House than any structure that belongs in Saudi. It isn't difficult to pinpoint where he might be harbored - lines of people choke the halls en route to the ballroom, craning their necks to try to see in, and cutting off any easy access to the location. ]

[The warm, dry air outside the hotel hits Jordan with a feeling of familiarity, a feeling of home and family. He shakes the feeling off, shrugging his shoulders in discomfort as his face registers disgust at the thought for a brief moment as they enter the huge building and follow the line of the crowd towards the ballroom.

He is still just as confused now as he was back at the mission briefing as to why his father hadn't done anything about this rogue Djinn. What was the man thinking, allowing this charlatan to run free and unchecked?

He sighs, walking at the back of the group, taking advantage of his tall frame to look over the heads of the crowd to see if he can catch a glimpse of their target.]
