I never actually got to play this setting, but I absolutely love it. Making a setting where genies are all over the place, unique types of wizards with secret organisations (must be hard to be a fire elementalist while not being a member of the brotherhood of flame). The sha'ir and its very unique spellcasting ability allowing even a 1st level sha'ir to potentially cast a higher level spell or even a priest spell, binding or entreating genies having a sha'ir on your team would be very useful in the sandy deserts of Al-Qadim. Genies were expanded upon, no longer were their just the elemental genies and the jann, now there were tasked genies that had transformed from their original elemental type to fit a specific task, such as summoning or binding a builder genie to make yourself a wizard's tower or palace.A very homogenous setting, it would work well for later editions as elves, humans, dwarves, goblins, ogres, and orcs all lived together in the land of enlightenment without the stricter dividing lines of other settings. Even ogres might be found in the cities of enlightenment. I'd love to run adventures for it based on the movies and stories which inspired it. Sinbad, Aladdin (who apparently may have originally been Chinese), any of the stories of 1001 nights could easily be converted into adventures of the setting, though it's been so long since I've read them that I can't think of any off the top of my head except for Ali-Baba and his 40 thieves and the story of Aladdin (probably more disney than original story though)I also like that the name of the setting is apparently complete nonsense that the designers liked the sound of.Anyone else have fond memories of playing or reading even reading through the setting and imagining adventures within it?</blockquote>
