Ifrit

Ifrit are demons of malice that prowl the streets of Makal. They come out of the canals and waterways of the city at night and pray on the street children and unlucky souls who find themselves on the streets at night.

According to Tuck there is a children's counting rhyme that everyone knows that outlines the steps to escaping the Ifrit.
 * 1) Walk on streets made of wood not stone
 * 2) Have a talisman of Tallow Gate Saffron
 * 3) Move toward the lighthouse
