Saarisi never mentioned anything about seeing Barid's troops, though if asked, the dragon would mention that some did make a visit. The efreeti lord had agreed to host them, but offered the hottest, and most inhospitable place in the city. Barid's forces politely declined, after the stone their building was made from started melting.<br/><br/>The city never had a strong religious following to begin with, which is why even Saarisi's cult had trouble spreading, which would also mean his wouldn't make much progress, either.
