Genie's Turban

The main group of islands off the coast from Muluk in Zakhara formed the Genie's Turban.

Description
The "turban" of this group of islands was comprised of two large islands called the Island of Firethorns and the Island of Gardens, or al-Hada'iq. The "genie's face" consisted of three smaller islands on the eastern side of Chaos Bay called The Eyes (al-Oyun) and The Nose (al-Anf) of the Marid. Local corsair lore referred to the smaller islets near the Eyes as the Beauty Marks.

Island of the Firethorns
This island was so named for the abundance of firethorn, or sea rose plants that covered the land. Only two settlements were found on the island-a small fishing village called Safe Cove, and the city of Hawa.

Island of the Gardens
The Island of Gardens was falsely named in a manner of speaking. Blocked from view by the sea, the arid interior of this island was surround by lush, beautiful vegetation. This islands' villages were located near the coast or along the eastern area of forested elevation called the Comb.

Inhabitants
The area of the Genie's Turban was entirely peopled with corsairs. Naturally suspicious, they would often test newcomers to see if they were confused by the use of the term for the Beauty Marks islets.
