Part One

The Zahr Clan

The Divine Creator created us as so. Jinn are smokeless fire-beings of the Unseen world, concealed behind the Veil, blessed with physical might. Humans are the Children of Adam, moulded from clay, blessed with intellect. Jinn may perceive us, but we cannot perceive them.

We are the balance of the world. Woe to the humans who fall to the temptation of the jinn to practise black magick.
