[QUOTE="Autumn, post: 3939718, member: 50015"] Ahhh, ok, I see what you were driving at. My picture of the Elemental Courts is that they are pretty tolerant by nature; so long as you're on the right side, they don't care too much what you believe or what kind of martial styles you're interested in. On the whole there's no emnity between the different courts - rivalry yes, and hatred between individuals perhaps, but generally the Djinn lord of one court is pretty much as likely to squabble with the Djinn lord of a different court as with an Efreet or a Dao. There are exceptions within each House; fanatics who believe in advancing the plans of their Princes (all of whom have been apparently slumbering and entirely silent for two thousand years or more now). That's perhaps as close as the Courts get to religion - and it's very much the exception, not the rule. The lords are largely genies (Djinnis in the air courts, Efreeti in the fire courts, Dao in the earth courts, Marids in the water courts, a few Jannis scattered between all four) and genies are almost all more interested in advancing their own schemes and filling their own coffers rather than waging a war of elemental ascendancy. What all that means for Maas is that his exile probably isn't a matter of ideology. It's much more likely something pettier - perhaps he was just the victim of circumstance? Perhaps a lack of interest in politics led to him ending up unwittingly on the wrong side of some rift or minor coup. [/QUOTE]
