I love it when people complain about lore breaking. All mods are lore breaking as they are not part of the original game. And who the f*#@ made them the lore police? I don't see their copyright on the game. I would only accept a complaint filed by a bethesda dev for skyrim. But someone keyboard jokey whining about lore breaking when they wrote not one lick of the original lore can take their opinion and shove it back up their ass. Besides the fact that all the lore on this planet comes from the past as do the djinn. Djinn are not D&D but early Arabian and later Islamic mythology. Besides the fact that the Daedra are base off of Djinn. you all need to stop blowing smoke up your own ass and thinking your opinion matters to anyone one but you.
If its lore/Immersion breaking for someone why installing it? And if they not installed it i cant see the problem. Ah wait - maybe the problem is that there is no problem? *confused*
While it's a bit unusual for the Elder Scrolls lore, it actually fits Djinn lore perfectly, as from what I've read of them, the Djinn have both the ability and DESIRE to explore worlds outside their own homeworld of Djinnestan; so it only makes sense that you might, on very RARE occasions, encounter one in a world like Nirn.
What DOESN'T make sense is their being resistant to both fire and ICE; as they're described as beings of a smokeless FIRE, I'd imagine that heat, and consequently fire, would STRENGTHEN them (which'd translate to fire attacks healing them and buffing their stats), while they'd be extra VULNERABLE to the cold (which'd translate to ice attacks dealing EXTRA damage to, and giving them stat NERFS); doesn't that make a LOT more sense to you?
it amuses me to see so much lore-fussing on a site that has anime chicks and Randy Savage dragons in mods I think it could use some work and move variety, but so what? It's a fun idea. ignore the Loredinators.
Hmmm, okay, so let's judge the mod, and not it's contested origin shall we ?^_^ (As far as I'm concerned, I'd say his inspiration came from D& but eh...)
Adding some floating to the race would indeed be awesome (I know there's a levitation mod around the Nexus somewhere...), and why not some blurry lower-body suggesting it's "spirit of air" nature.
A suggestion on powers :
- Resist cold 25% - Gust of wind (somekinda Fus, or some Freeze spell with transparency instead of white/cold effect)
Uhmm, the Djinn are ancient creatures from most Muslim (I have no idea why i said Indian) lore, and are not exclusive to Golden sun, regardless how good the game was. On another note, is this a female only race?
Here's a Wikipedia link to the Djinn. They are not an Air based race, they are a fire based creatures being referred to as "smokeless flame" or "scorching fire."
They`re kinda ghouls with spiritual abilities , and they`re people , they can be bad , can be good , can marry , and have children (in their particular way of course) . They can have a wide variety of abilities , but their most specific ones are fire elements and teleportation ; as in Quran . In fantasies and urbal legends they have other abilities , that I`m not-so-well knowlegded about it .
*Some Legendary Djinns -In late persian folklore there`s a Djinn called "Djinn-e Boo Daade" (Scorched Djinn) , a naughty funny Djinn . -Aal is a Djinn that hurts the pregnant , and steals a newborn`s souls when he\she is born . She`s not a Djinn specifically , but have similiar attributes , like the teleportation , and red skin . She fears sharp-pointed furniture (especially knives , scissors and needles) _______________ That`s all i know .
Djinn are not angels, in islam,djinn created by fire. but angels created by "nur" or light djinn are more like humans,there are the "bad" and the "good" Djinn. sorry for the religous talk, i just want you add some "fire" effect on the Djinn that's will very good .have a good day anyway!

I truly wish someone could keep up his work.
