A Genie was a spirit being.[1][2][3][4]
Description[]
Genies in appearance manifesting on Titan often resembled pudgy bald people, levitating a few metres off the ground.[1]
They were often perceived as being Chaotic and even Evil. There was no doubt that some of their race in the early history of the Godtime was subverted by the darker forces, and these subverted genies were referred to as djinns. However, the genies were actually servants of the Trickster Gods, seeking to keep in balance Good and Evil, Law and Chaos.[1]
Most commonly people associated a genie with three wishes. It was often the case that a genie would grant a wish but beware! A genie could easily twist the words of the wish to have a very different meaning or outcome than would have been desired. If the genie felt that Good was dominant at that moment it could mean a disastrous result for the wish maker. What could be even worse is if the genie was actually a djinn, for the two were almost indistinguishable. A genie could grant other boons, such as money, information or invisibility.[1][5][6]
Origins and Distribution[]
They were closely related to the suma.[7] It was believed that the first of the genies were actually suma persuaded by Logaan and his fellows to follow their creed.
Genies usually dwelt on the Magical Planes, and were occasionally sent to Titan in the service of the Trickster Gods.[1]
Special Abilities[]
Weapons, magical or otherwise, were unable to harm a genie, simply passing through them.[1]
History[]
There were two Genies aboard the Riddling Reaver's ship, the Twice Shy.[8]
Nicodemus was told about Xortan Throg by genies, who he described as "the most terrible gossips...a real bunch of fish-wives at times."[9]
