Which side would a djinn be affiliated with?

(1/3) > >>

Phydestrius:
So, if a djinn was put in the nevernever, would he be affiliated with the Winter Court, the Summer Court, or be Wyldfae?

See, djinn can be destructive monsters so perhaps they would be with Winter.

On the other hand, doesn't the Summer Court hold sway over heated areas like the deserts where djinn tended to appear?

But then, it could also be the case that neither of these is correct, so they might just be Wyldfae.

What do you think?

ITheHellAmFan:
I'm pretty sure none of the above, pretty sure Djinn aren't Faeries.  Remember, Faerie is only the portion of the Nevernever closest to the mortal world, there's a lot more in there.

Also, welcome to the boards

Rasins:
I agree with ITheHelAmFan.

That being said, iirc, weren't Djinn of the chaotic bent?  Could be "good" or "evil"?

knnn:
Wasn't there a djinn in the Ghoul Goblin comic?   It wasn't particularly chaotic.

Quantus:
As others have noted the Djinn are likely not part of the Fae at all, rather they'd be one of the many other denizens of the NN.  The Fae are just the closest, and a race unique in that they straddle the boundary and actually natively exist in both worlds, leaving behind corpses etc.  Beyond that they varr widely, being depicted as anything from Elemental beings (all wind and sand and fire) to half-animals with human bodies and animal heads (very Egyptian I always thought).

Also, as I recall, one of the only actual qualitative descriptions of the Djinn were that they were VERY specifically in possession of Free Will just like Humans, a specific distinction to the Angels described in the Quran who do not have it. 



If they HAD to get crammed into the Fae framework, Id say they'd have to be base Wyldfae and get classified with leaning toward one or the other (or neither) court.  Those of Smoke and Fire would be more Summer, while those on Air side might fall to Winter, and the rest would fall out more esoterically based on their "draftable" actions like in SK.
