The dragon and Ghariba

A dragon terrorizes the grand city of Ghariba, having already slain its emira. The new emir, Alaaeldin, holds lavish parties for the nobility as religious and social unrest grows and the dragon’s attacks worsen. You arrive in search of your sister, who stole the magical sword you made because she believes it is her destiny to slay the dragon.

Instead, your path brings you to Jaafar, the Grand Wazir, who gives you a djinn in a bottle. The djinn can grant your wishes, but may twist your words and turn them against you when it has had enough. As factions seek your help, you use your wits, words, strength and magic to navigate the politics of the palace, the city and the world beyond.

Wishes and choices

You can use the djinn to wish for information, wealth and more, or free it and discover other wonders. You might help your sister protect Ghariba, slay the dragon yourself, or side with those who consider it sacred and want to keep it safe. You can also investigate the mystery of its sudden appearance or use the chaos to become Ghariba’s richest person.

Your choices can lead you to become a grand magician, a silver-tongued poet, the protector of the realm or something greater. You can support Emir Alaaeldin, help depose him or take the throne yourself, and race through the skies on a magic carpet. You can also seek love with a dragon-slaying warrior, a court poet, a prophet, a priestess, a noble or a djinn.

The dragon’s fate

You can slay the dragon or save it and help it speak so it can reveal its secrets. Your decisions also determine what becomes of the djinn, the city and its rulers.
