Introduction

Consorting With

Genies

enies are the embodiment of magic, the physical form of the magic

of the four elements. One of the four major geniesdao, djinn,

efreet, and maridrules each of the four provinces of magicearth,

air, fire, and water. They are the most dangerous of elemental spirits:

capricious, arrogant, and very, very powerful. To face them is to face the

storm, and the earth trembles at their touch.

In addition to the four major genie races there are the jann, the markeen,

and the many types of tasked genies. The jann are the weakest of the genies,

and are composed of all four elements. They are able to survive best in

Zakhara because they, although they are not masters of any element, are the

most adaptable of the genie races.

The markeen are outcasts, creatures that no longer deserve their standing

among the great and powerful. The tasked genies are warped or cursed forms

of the greater genies and the jann. They come in a hundred different shapes

and sizes, all suited to special jobs, and most are very rare indeed.

The five great lords who rule the genies include the four lords of the major

elemental genies and the emir of the jann. Tasked genies have no rulers of

their own but most obey the ruler that they or their ancestors have served.

The markeen are outcasts among all of the genie races and obey no rulers but

their own. All genies consider themselves superior to the non-genie races.

Genies are even more fussy about precedence and status than humans and

other ins (as the genies call other humanoid races). Though some wise men

argue that this comes from their respect for the Loregiver and their love of

order, wiser men know that it is simply because of their vanity and love of

flattery. A man who understands this is well-armed against the dangers of the

genies.
