Default Re: Djinnibad - Nomads and Genies

To DrPRaetorius:
And you surely do see that there are nothing here about jinni-kind being ethereal, or equalling them with shaitan per se. And we can see that at least some of them can fly. Also, there are some of them who are of shaitan, but there are such from men, too! While there are also jinn who are of the True Faith - which I would equal to that there are both sacred & non-sacred untis of genie... And also it is said that some jinn fought on foot, while others mounted..
Shah-name, of course, reflects more of Persian folklore, which has some differences, & 1001 Nights bears also Persian influence. Still, we can use that too...
As for children of Catharsis - possibly, but this restricts them to being of one kind - and something similar to elementals / earth gnomes at that! The version that they were created by previous Pantokrator which was voiced before is much more to my liking!
