Re: Djinnibad - Nomads and Genies
Ooh, folkloric jinn!
Remember that jinn:
1) Are made of "subtle" (smokeless) fire.
2) Eat dust, so don't need supplies.
3) Are both ethereal and have glamour. They probably shouldn't fly, though.
4) Some of them are specifically mounted.
In Arabic folklore, Solomon is generally said to have led an army of Jinn, and that's where most of their military attributes come from.
