The Vengeful Djinn: Unveiling the Hidden Agenda of Genies (34 page)

Kings

Powerful black djinn. It is not known if all djinn are ruled by one
king or many.

Clans

No one really knows how many clans exist. They are ruled by blue
or yellow djinn and obey a djinn king.

Families

A yellow djinn or older green djinn may head a djinn family. A
family usually consists of djinn who are related, but this may not
always be the case.

Outcasts

Djinn who have no living family or those who have been exiled
from a family or clan are considered outcasts. Most are not necessarily evil, but may be dangerous to other djinn and humans.

Rebels

Djinn that have broke away from the order of a king, clan or family. They are called red djinn and are considered evil and very dangerous to humans. Red djinn may be the "demons" of religious
writings. They follow Iblis instead of God.

Black Djinn

The most powerful of all djinn, little is known about them. The
only reference we have is from ancient Persia, where they were
called shamir.

Blue Djinn

The elders and clan leaders of the djinn order. They have little interaction with humans, but have been known to participate in important moments of history. They are known as Marid, Nekratael,
and Afreet.

Yellow Djinn

Middle-aged djinn with considerable power. Most are family leaders. They have little if no interest in the human race and the physical world. They are known as Juzam and the nastier ones are called
Efreeti.

Green Djinn

Youngest and least powerful of the djinn. They are curious and like
to interact with the human race in the physical world. Many young
ones like to play pranks on humans. They are known as Erhnam,
Kookus, Aamar, Arwaah, Jann, and Amir.

Red Djinn

Very old and powerful djinn. Most were once blue djinn. They
worship Iblis and their goal is to destroy all humans. They are
served by other djinn, and in rare cases, humans. Some serve willingly, some by force. They are known as ghouls, shaitan or shayteen, and ifrit.
