The Djinn War – Efreet Faction

Since the time when the first human, Banor, and the beloved prophet Daraman inhabited Tibia, humans on the continent of Darama have lived with a rather particular race, the Djinns.

Although the Djinns were initially so powerful enemies of humans that the war could have spread endlessly, a series of events turned their fate to something very different. The prophet Daraman spoke with Gabel, the king of the Djinns, and informed him of his intentions to end the war and strengthen peace and friendship among all races. Gabel accepted this idea, and tried to steer his race into a future in which both Djinns and humans lived in harmony.

However, not all Djinns were willing to accept this idea. Malor, a powerful army general of Djinns, secretly planned the release of the Djinns who were against Gabel’s new ideals and his death. Many Djinns refused, while the strongest warriors seemed to seamlessly join their cause. It was like this that one night, Malor’s army attacked the palace with the intention of killing King Gabel and all who resisted. Despite the effective of his attack, Malor was unable to kill Gabel, who escaped in time thanks to the timely warning from his guard and friend Fa’hradin. This is how Darama’s greatest war between the Marids and the Efreets began, which would last for generations.

Time passed and both Gabel and Malor gained more followers, to the point where both sides were almost evenly in power. The hatred between each side grew and the war seemed to have no end, and no one expected it to, since if one side won, it would only do so in numbers that would put the species itself at risk.

Malor sent a messenger to Gabel to summon him to a duel to the death, after which the war would end. Gabel attended alongside his entire army, and so did Malor. However, Malor’s usurped, who never intended to play fair, made a secret alliance with the Necromancers of Drefia, who, upon Gabel’s encounter, caused the earth to open and leave it hundreds of vicious dead, who attacked him and his army. Gabel had to escape.

Although the attack was sudden and effective, Malor was unhappy as Gabel’s army managed to escape south almost completely. What he did not expect was that Gabel had planned a counter-strategy in the face of Malor’s attack, and formed an alliance with humans to defeat the Efreets. When Malor realized, it was too late: the Necromancers and their army of Undeads were heading to the city of Ankrahmun and the Efreets, angry, did not stay behind. However, they failed to cause great damage to the city, as humans were well prepared to face the attack of the hordes of Djinns, at the tip of catapults with large rocks and arrows.

It was at this point that Baa’Leal, who led the Efreets in battle, ordered the best wizards of his army to raise a huge column of magical fire and bring it down on Ankrahmun to reduce it to the ashes. A large wall of fire appeared thanks to the magic of the Efreets, but it did not go where they expected. Fa’hradin, who foreseed Baa’Leal’s attack, ordered his sorcerers to direct the fire towards their creators, who managed to bring it down north, ravaging whatever it was behind it. The fire, driven by a slight southern breeze, consumed both plants and animals in its magical hell, turning the Kha’labal into what we know today, deserted and hostile lands.

Either way, this didn’t mean the end of the war. Many Efreets managed to escape, including Malor and Baa’Leal, for which it was not a great victory for the Marids, let alone counting the devastation of the Kha’Labal. For Gabel, it was not time to pursue the Efreets, however, there were accounts to settle with Drefia’s Necromancers. The Marids conjured a huge spell that caused the land under the city to move like a huge whirlwind, destroying the buildings and leaving everything buried under the sand.

Although many Djinns had lost their lives, the war was still alive. More battles like Ankrahmun’s could have led to the destruction of the race. Gabel came to Fa’hradin for advice. Old Djinn planned a way to eliminate Malor, and that’s how the magic lamp was created. In a way that to this day remains unknown, the lamp was placed in Malor’s quarters. In this way, when Malor locked himself in what he thought was his sleeping lamp, he became trapped in Fa’hradin’s lamp. Soon, the lamp came into Gabel’s hands, making Malor his prisoner.

Gabel quickly contacted the Efreets to let them know of their leader’s condition, but this did not stop them. On the contrary, he unleashed the wrath of his enemies, so the war was far from over. However, neither the Marids nor the Efreets planned to find the thee in a great battle, since they both hoped to refill their ranks and, because the Djinns are not a fertile race, they passed in this way centuries and centuries, and their number has increased very little. Malor, for his part, was locked up all that time in the remote place his enemies had confined him to.

What Gabel did not expect was that precisely where he had left the magic lamp would be the same place where the Orcs raised their enormous fortress. One day, the lamp was found and taken to the king of the Orcs, who freed his prisoner who had been asleep for centuries. It is not known exactly what happened afterwards, but although it is said that the king of the Orcs is still alive, he was never seen again after such an incident. Malor, however, is still alive and gathering Djinns to attack the Marids army.

The Djinn War – Efreet Faction Quest is precisely about joining the Efreets to end the Threat of the Marids. However, it’s not easy for humans to gain trust among the Efreets, so you’ll need to perform some missions before they assign you an important mission. The reward is extremely useful: you trade with the Djinn merchants of Mal’ouquah. Considering that the list of items to sell is extensive, and encompasses many relatively rare items, it is quite practical to perform this Quest and worth the effort.

Items required:
– Dwarven Rings.
