Jinn

Jinn (sometimes spelled Djinn or even Genie) are the original inhabitants of Earth, according to Islamic Cosmology.
In Fifth Edition they are considered to be Faerie creatures capable of both good and evil, many of which have in fact accepted Islam as their religion.
Jinn may however exist that are aligned to the Magical or Infernal Realms.
Houses of Hermes: Societates describes Muslim characters called Sahirs that may command Jinns and that are sometimes found among the ranks of House Ex Miscellanea.
The Cradle and the Crescent later developed the concepts to a considerable degree, detailing the Order of Suleiman.
