Talk:Jinn

Page Content
I just removed a decent amount of irrelevant (and occasionally erroneous) content, mostly having to do with Arabian mythology. Now I have a problem finding enough content to merit this being a separate page. Can anyone think of more relevant, in-universe content? Is it possible this page should re-direct to a page about Jadis or Charn and merge the information in there? Lasaraleen Tarkheena 05:12, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems fine to me. There are shorter articles. If someone wants to quickly find out what a "Jinn" is, they would probably prefer to have a direct article rather than a section somewhere else.
 * I know of no information ever given on the Adam/Lilith myth in any volume of The Chronicles of Narnia. The only reference to Adam in the stories references only Eve as his wife. As such, I question the inclusion of this in the Narnian wiki. -- ChrisK (talk) 14:26, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * LWW Ch. 8. Mr. Beaver: "But she's no Daughter of Eve. She comes of your father Adam's...first wife, her they called Lilith. And she was one of the Jinn." Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 02:35, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Ancestral problem
Wait. If Adam was the father of Jinns, they would be half-human. Is that make any sense? Guest, 10:32, December 11, 2012 (UTC) You're right; it's a little bit strange. I think the idea is that Adam and Lilith begat one race and Adam and Eve begat another. The two are entirely separate, even though Adam was the father in both. I don't know quite how it works, but it does. Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 15:26, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

According to the ancient Hebrew myths about Lilith; she and Adam never sired any children together. The legend goes that when God first created Adam, he made him with 2 heads, and then split him in 2, thus making 2 humans each with 1 head. God made one of them an exact opposite to the other, calling her a woman, and named her Lilith. But there was a problem. Lilith was expected to serve under her husband, as women were expected to (sexist I know, but remember this is an ancient myth), but Lilith refused. She spurned Adam and chose to walk the road between worlds, preferring the company of angels and demons instead, whom she mated with. The children she bore with them were said to be called the Tormentors of Man's Dreams. With this in mind, she could have mated with any number of creatures along the way, and spawned Jadis's race (or at least one of their ancestors). Storyseeker1 (talk) 18:58, December 11, 2012 (UTC)
