Div, plural: divs
Variations: Daivres, devas
From the demonology of ancient Persia and in
Zoroastrian mythology comes a species of demon
known as the div; the word translates from
ancient Iranian to mean “false god.” Under the
command of Aherman these demons prey upon

animals, crops, man, and plants. Divs have the
ability to shape-shift into devils, giants, ogres,
snakes, and other various forms. Female divs are
known as perris; however, male divs are considered to be the more dangerous and evil of the two
genders. All divs are subject to human frailties
and weaknesses.
Divs live high up in the mountains in caves but
can also be found wandering in the desert. Their
capital city, Ahermanabad, is located on mount
Kaf. The god Mithra is their personal adversary.

In Islamic mythology the djinn (“angry, possessed”) are a race of demons that are divided into
two species. The first has five classes: Afreet,
GHILAN, Jann, Marid, and the Sheitan. The
other has only three: GHUL, IFRIT, and SILA.
They were created by Allah out of smokeless fire
and were given permission to attempt to seduce
and tempt men away from God’s teachings. They
are immortal and unless slain they will live indefinitely. When a djinn has been mortally
wounded it bleeds fire; eventually the flames will
consume the demon. They will also avoid direct
sunlight, salt, and steel. These demons fear the
“falling stars” that God can throw at them and
the sound of singing. In general they are known
to be quick-tempered and vain.
