✨ Reflections on the Djinn
In the vast world of War of Continents, where gameplay unfolds across lands and elements, there exists another, invisible world — the world of Djinn. These aren’t characters in the game — they are the very spirits of the project’s digital infrastructure.
Our system is large and multifaceted. Some parts live on the blockchain, others on our own servers. The architecture is intricate — a living network of interacting modules and services. To bring a touch of clarity and charm to this complexity, we gave each of these core services a name… and a soul.
We call them Djinn.
🧞 Why Djinn?
At the beginning of our journey, this naming started as a joke. We needed a term to describe independent processes and services within our system. "Daemon" — the Unix-inspired term — felt too cold and technical.
So instead, we chose Djinn — benevolent spirits who serve a purpose and carry out important duties. And now, it’s more than a name. It’s a tradition.
Each Djinn in War of Continents is responsible for a specific area. They interact with one another, carry messages, handle logic, maintain states — all while remaining unseen. But sometimes… they speak to you.
If you’ve ever received a system message or a game notification with a curious sender name — it might have come from one of them.
🔹 The Djinn Among Us
Let’s introduce a few of the most well-known Djinn who keep the world of War of Continents running smoothly:
Misaar
The Mission Master.
He oversees all missions in the game — from deployment to completion — and delivers reports to players. His messages may seem brief, even curt, but remember: he's a busy spirit, and he shares only what matters most.
Riyad
The Messenger.
He ensures communication flows between the Djinn and the players. Riyad manifests as the little bell icon — your in-game notification center.
Khalid
The Keeper of Lands.
Khalid watches over your Lands, monitors gold harvests, stores Elementals, manages buildings, elemental levels, and more.
Aziz
The Cartographer.
Aziz governs the continental map and the wandering NPCs that populate it.
Amir
The Guardian of Heroes.
Amir tracks Hero attributes and relays information to others. If it's about a Hero, Amir knows.
Lakan
The Ledger.
Lakan is responsible for all accounting: coins, items, resources, medals — everything you own is registered in his books. Some say his name is a twist on "Luca"... perhaps not by accident?
Musabik
The Quest Giver.
Musabik ensures your quests run smoothly and your rewards are properly delivered.
🔸 The Hidden Spirits
There are others: Tadqiq, Bashi, Astarte, Nasir, Shamir — each quietly working behind the scenes. Some are less known, but their roles are no less vital.
And yes — more Djinn are coming. As the game evolves, so will the hidden network of digital spirits guiding your journey.
🪄 Final Words
The Djinn are our way of giving personality to the core services of War of Continents. They are the silent force behind your adventures, the architects of systems, the couriers of fate.
Next time you receive a message from Misaar, collect gold through Khalid, or complete a quest with Musabik — remember: the Djinn are watching over you.
Stay brave, adventurer.
The spirits of the code walk beside you.
