Jinn

The most populous of the Djinn tribes who have sided with Islam, the Jinn accepted the Prophet before any of the other tribes. They have also been the most active in associating with humans and sahir. It has happened that they have also become the least magical, especially outside the Arabian Peninsula and the Holy Land. The Jinn have sought to become faithful followers of the Koran, and may visit a mundane mosque on very special holy days. They also enjoy discussing the Law, and the Koran and will often invite a learned religious scholar of any faith to come and debate with them. There are however famous renegades, who have sided with the forces of evil and corrupting men away from the Koran. It is said that many Jinn travel on carpets that fly, and live in places where the wind never stops. Some can change their appearance to a smoke or mist, a huge eagle, or a strong man or woman.
