These are the only Djinn I have planned to make for the moment.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

I have plans for Balasar, although what those plans are depend on whether or not he believes in angels.

I was actually considering having Mina create angels herself or have Magnas make them.

Pre-Renissance?

I think the Durhians of Crav have the highest tech-level.

Most of the other societies lag behind, or rely on magic instead.

Feel free to advance your peoples if It's sensible.

I'm rather disappointed in how so many people are copying various mythical beings word-for-word.

At least make them different. New. Unique.

This is supposed to be a new and unique place. A world with a different mythology than any present.

It doesn't have to be a difference in ability, or appearance. Even something culturally or mentally different.

On it eventually. I'm basically rewatching the entire Avatar Series right now.

It's pleasantly distracting.

Makes me nervous. Would this work for anyone?

If anyone should start having that sort of thing, it's the Durhians.

You could work your way upwards.

Start with things like simple machines (Pulley systems and what-not) and work your way up through clockwork mechanisms, steam and eventually more advanced sciences.

I'd wait until after the tournament to do so.

The Cravians have, at the least, the printing press.

Yup, it would work for anyone, regardless of temple. And to add a limitation to it: While under the Sanctuary effect, one cannot fight others or leave the temple so long as they wish to be safe.

Angels: Humanoids with varying numbers of pairs of wings with high magical and physical power. In addition, very weak to damage from fire and ice. Is it good?

Aren't Angels about as far from your domain as possible

Closer than one thinks.

 Traditionally, the two are the same, with just a different alignment.

Oh, and in Christian faith, devoid of physical form, but we're not gonna get into that.

I mean, almost no mythical creatures/races have been held to authentically here, so why should anyone but me start now?

I'm somewhat guilty of it myself, due to not having enough time to flesh out each of the creations as unique..

Like the Dwarves.. They aren't all smiths, and none of them live underground...
