Hello, I'd like to introduce to you an interest check for a fantasy RP I'm rebooting from another site based on pre-Islamic Arabia, drawing from ancient Islamic, Christian and Zoroastrian religion and mythology.

I have a very long background for this nation, and I will type it up properly if there is interest. The basic setting is as follows:



This RP will be heavily story-based, with themes focusing around moral shades of grey, religion, slavery and rebellion. You'll start the game a slave who is pressed into service by this Suhaila. As you are among the first to serve her in her rebellion to overthrow slavery in the empire, you will quickly rise in the ranks and serve as her close advisers.

Dude, Middle Eastern-based settings are my jam. I'm very definitely up for this.

Interesting that you mention it's pre-Islamic Arabia, despite Djinn being discussed and codified in the Quran.

Thanks for the interest, a few more and I'll make the OOC. @Dead Cruiser I also said it drew from Islamic religion; the culture and empire itself will mainly draw from historical sources such as the Sasanids.

I'd like to bump just because the website bugged out after I posted this. Some more details around the RP: You'll start as a slave to a minor lord in al-Rayyat to be liberated by the powerful sorceress Suhaila, who claims to be the Djinn Goddess of Rebellion who has returned to overthrow slavery in the empire. Many slaves continue to worship her and the other Djinn, having awaited their second coming for thousands of years. Suhaila certainly has the power of a goddess, but her ruthless nature (She is also the Goddess of Vengeance, after all) leads to you question what you're fighting for.
