Default Re: [Banestorm] Fleshing out the Djinn Lands

I agree that the area was left as an open area for the GM to insert stuff, but I do think that exploring the idea has merit. Maybe we'll get a nice version out of this.



Its been a while since we did a proper world-building question game...

This is a great trio: The name of each half, plus a title. The titles should be individual enough to distinguish them from other djinn.



Elf Name: Alinar
Human Name: Rashad (but more needs to come)

Djinn Title: Watcher in the Sky Over the Dunes, or "Dune Watcher" for short



I'm not sold on the title: does someone have a better one?



Question 2) What physical or natural structure covers Alinar's body and the surrounding High Mana zone?
Question 3) How long has Rashad been Alinar's host?
