Re: Djinnibad - Nomads and Genies

On the scimitars thing, curved swords (sabres) were inherited from the Mongols. Generally, they were introduced in the East and moved West over time (on the backs of the invaders)

Tulwar - India - 13th century
Kilij - Turkey - 15th century
Shamshir - Persia - 16th century
Saif - Arabia - 16th century
Nimcha - Morocco - 17th century
Pulwar - Afghanistan - 19th century (!)

However, from a fantasy standpoint, scimitars completely fit the theme.
