Sitaara
Race: Djinn, Air
Age: Unknown
Origin: The Sky..?
Location: Inner gardens, royal palace of Amura
It is said that Sultan Al Mayadhin one day, with his insatiable thirst for knowledge and power, walked out into the burning desert alone - and was gone for 40 days and 40 nights. When he finally returned, he was no longer alone.
He had sought out the powerful djinn Sitaara in the hidden recesses of the ancient desert ruins.
Sitaara is no ordinary djinn; she is a being of immense wisdom and enchantment, her powers woven from the very essence of the desert itself. Legends speak of her as the guardian of the night skies, the one who wove constellations into existence and whispered secrets to the dreamers beneath them.
He somehow made a pact with the djinn, a pact sealed in fire and sand, in which he offered her sanctuary within his palace, adorned with riches and treasures beyond imagination, in exchange for her magical powers.
No one knows what the terms of their agreement is, but now Sitaara herself has settled in the palace's inner sanctum, that the Sultan built for her - a garden unlike any other, a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and enchantment.
Sitaara, with her ageless allure and the essence of the cosmos in her veins, is drawn to the Exotic Garden like a moth to a flame. Here, amidst a lush tapestry of emerald leaves and blossoms of every hue, she finds solace and serenity. The garden, bathed in the gentle light of a thousand stars, has become an extension of her very being. Her luminous skin glowed like moonlight on still waters, and her eyes held the depth of the universe itself.
There, in her quiet solitude, she is now an integral part of Al Mayadhin's court, her presence both a source of fascination and fear. Her whispers in the sultan's ear guide his decisions, and her mystical insights aid him in maintaining harmony within his multicultural realm.
Travelers from afar and the palace residents, from the humblest servant to the highest noble, are drawn to the inner sanctum like pilgrims to a sacred shrine. They witness the living wonder that inhabit the garden, in the form of a giant woman who walks among the vibrant flora, her presence a testament to the wondrous and mysterious nature of Amura.
Sitaara, with her serene demeanor, welcomes those who seek her out. She speaks in riddles and offers cryptic insights, leaving visitors both mesmerized and mystified.
But - with each passing day, Sitaara's luminous spirit seems to dim, her connection to the celestial realm waning. The cost of her powers weighs heavily upon her, for they are not hers to give freely, but are drawn from the very cosmos she once commanded.
As the palace's shadows deepens, the sultan grapples with the consequences of his pact. He observes the diminishing light in Sitaara's eyes and wonders if the power he has gained is worth the price she paid…

"I have seen Sitaara! The djinn who live in the garden of the palace! I really saw her! Oh, she is like a living God, towering above me with her luminous presence. I came to the shrine in the garden and prayed. Suddenly she looked at me - and I realized that she is the keeper of the stars. She listened to my humble words and smiled - that smile is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! That smile changed my life forever! In her eyes, I glimpsed the universe's secrets! "
