Djinns of the High Desert (2019)

You are a Sultan in ancient Arabia who has heard whispers about neighboring Sultans who are about to invade your territory with their armies. There are even rumors of Sultans who are summoning Djinns to their court hoping to obtain their power to conquer you. You have decided to summon your own Djinns to protect yourself and defeat your foes. The Djinns exist in clans, however, and will seldom work with another clan; they will often actively sabotage the efforts of the other Djinn clans. The only exceptions are the noble Jann Clan, who ally themselves with any of the other Djinn clans. Summon your Djinns for victory, but watch out for their trickery and the cunning of your neighbors.
