Talk:Geniekin

Preferred Spelling [COMPLETED]

Should the preferred spelling on this wiki be "geniekin", "genie-kin", or "genie kin"? I note that Inner Sea World Guide uses "genie kin", but the most recent source, People of the Sands, uses "geniekin".--Filby (talk) 02:09, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I had spotted this and we now have redirects set up to help at least. --Fleanetha (talk) 11:08, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

And now Inner Sea Races consistently uses geniekin so this seems to be solved with the main page correct and redirects made. --Fleanetha (talk) 08:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Forced breeding still canon?

This part:

With the rise of Kelesh and its genie binders, many Keleshites engaged in liaisons with summoned genies, bringing many half-blooded hybrids into the world. These "half-genies" were looked down upon in Qadira for being the bastard children of captives, and many fled to Osirion to escape persecution. Here they intermarried with Garundi with elemental bloodlines, bringing about a new generation of geniekin. Following the fall of Keleshite power in modern Osirion, these geniekin are respected as a symbol of strength through the blending of cultures.

Nothing in Lost Omens supports this. Can someone check with a Paizo source if this is still considered canon? It seems against a lot of the retcons on sexual abuse, slavery, and the setting's general tone and treatment of mixed-ancestry beings that Paizo's enacted in the decade since, and the Ancestry Guide sidebar on the origin of the term "geniekin" as heroes from folklore suggests alternative reasons for their connection to Kelesh now exist.

It seems like a published source on Kelesh will arrive sometime between a long time from now and never, so waiting on a print revision might not be ideal. -Oznogon (talk) 18:52, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
