The Dresden Files > DF Books

Which side would a djinn be affiliated with?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Paviel:
Djinn serve basically the same function in Arabic folklore as the Fae in Celtic folklore, so I'm rather inclined to believe that there is some connection between them.

Rasins:
Paviel,

I understand what you are saying.  The serve the same function, but as we've seen in the Dresden files, the different races are different.

So, I could totally see them having their own area in the never-never.

Plus their specifically air spirits I think... so sorta more in the spectrum of Bob. Hell, Bob lives in something just like he's a damn Genie. Doesn't exactly grant wishes, but it doesn't have to be exactly the same  be the same genus either. Cousins? Spirit plus soul equals reality altering wish granter?

Not all of them, some were Air and Fire, others where just people with animal heads.  Which in retrospect might be akin to the Egyptian Pantheon, from a Combined-Myth's perspective...
