For Millennia, Genies have lived peaceful among the mortalpopulation by keeping to themselves and not interfering in human matters. Thatall changed one day when an unknown human caught a genie using his powers.After careful planning, the human was able to capture the genie in a bottle andshared this knowledge. With the knowledge on how to capture a genie spreading,the three most powerful of the Djinn’s moved their people to a hidden land andit was after the move that they divided the genies into three clans, TheShantian, Favian, and Leianian, each with their own purpose. After thedivision, it was made well known that the Shantian clan would become the geniesversion of a royal family.

The Shantian clan has been the ruling family of the geniesever since they removed themselves from the world of the mortals after it wasdiscovered on how to capture their kind in bottles and lamps. The Blue Djinnhas ruled with for years with honor and fairness and he was blessed with threebeautiful daughters and one son, Zarif, who sadly had ventured out into the mortal world and was captured in a lamp.

The oldest two daughters married into the other two clans,keeping the genie blood line pure 

The youngest of the three sisters, Aliyah, went against herfather’s wishes and ventured back into the human world, and found a life inAgrabah.  She managed to charm her wayinto the palace and there was where she met her first human husband. Thatmarriage only lasted a couple of years before the young prince died ofunnatural causes. With the death of the prince, the now widowed Princess wasworried that she was the cause of his death due to her powers as a Genie, whichof course was not the case. A few years went by and soon Aliyah became thefocus of the Royal Vizer, Jafar, and her father-in-law was considering marryingher off to him until a young prince from a neighboring kingdom arrived. Fromthe moment Aliyah and Hudad set eyes on each other, it was love at first sightand she agreed to marry him. Her marriage to the then Prince Hudad caught theattention of her father and he paid her a visit. It was during this visit thatthe Djinn gave his daughter an ultimatium, go back with him or give up herpowers as a genie. She chose to give up her genie magic, not knowing that herblood still carried the magic of the genie.

Aliyah married her prince and not long after their wedding,the Sultan died;  she and Hudad becamethe queen and Sultan of Agrabah. Their union only produced one daughter,Princess Jasmine. Sadly when Jasmine was only 4 years old, Aliyah died from asnake bite, which even to this day, her murderer has never been found
