[QUOTE="shivamuffin, post: 656546, member: 936"] WOW! I didn't think of that! Aztec, Mayan, and Incan genies... hmmmm. Atzec's would definitely utilize warmonger genies, and task genies that support the priestly/ruling classes. ( The Azec civilization was very much organized like the Egyptians, just more bloody. ) The Mayans and the Aztecs played this strange game. There was a leather, weighted ball and 2 teams. The idea was to score points by throwing the ball through this hole. At the end of the game, the losing team was sacraficed! Great sport, and no whining about extravegant salaries! Gladiator genies would be popular, most definitely. The ancient Chimu of Peru, used to indulge in hallucinagenic enima's, practiced complex surguries with obsidian edged tools ( Trepanning, amputations, and some other fairly complex surguries...with the patient living to a relatively old age afterwards. ) Task genies specializing in healing and alchemy could be a common addition to such a culture. Contrary to what is learned in schools, the Mayans and Aztecs were a very literate culture. The Spanish missionaries gleefully burnt the Mayan and Aztec archives...Librarian task genies would be common. All the South American civilizations believed in a group of culture bearers, usually depicted as elderly white men. They were called the Vira Cochas. The feathered serpent was their symbol...Thousands of miles away, in the Near East, the brotherhood of the snake was in existence, descended from one of that regions culture bearers who went by the name of Ea...The twisting snake symbol used by our present medical community comes from that brotherhood. Genies from such a setting would be tasked towards war, politics, science, and medicine. They would resemble the local people in appearance, but would be able to shapeshift into animals/creatures that are associated with their particular task. Warmongers would take jaguar form Science, archivists, and medical genies would take on feathered serpent or snake forms. and so on... I hope this was helpful. [/QUOTE]
