Any update?

It's a fun setup, I hope you come back to it

Great work! You have a way of creating unique magic systems that keeps me wanting more.

@[HypnoMutt](/user/show/10023035) I think what is interesting is how the core of this series- the idea that non-human beings run on a blue and orange morality spectrum that can often clash and in many cases cause them to need to prioritize themselves over humans- is in many ways while realistic in the context of this story (and opens up many interesting ways to explore thematics)...also in my eyes thematically speaking less a subversion in my eyes of the whole "non human species who have integrated into human society without many hiccups and can coexist without many problems" and more a return to form of how the supernatural was seen in Western tradition- particularly as seen by Christendom- where most supernatural entities by religious authorities were mostly seen as ner do well demons- folk views of course ran the gamut. If anything, that coexistence angle likely was the subversion when considering most of western literature historically from what I can see. In the near east, this subversion never really had to take place at all- jinns run the gamut from saints to devils (the latter being termed shayatin)- though they are still treated with respect and caution. One doesn't fool around with a jinn after all. With the jinn, as with these werewolves- the idea of blue-and-orange morality is present to a degree- jinns experience the world differently than humans and can thus misinterpret things- and can be ferocious and terrifying to provoke as a result (they may possess somebody to show their love, haunt a figure who they believe thought to kill them when in reality they never meant to do it etc, wickedly plot to deal in black magic etc). However, unlike say the West- jinns are assigned the ability of moral understanding in a way similar to humans. They may either go to heavean or hell, and while demoted from their old status as tutelary deities- are still very present in the faith. But not as demons- not entirely (those do exist however and are also seen as being jinns- including in many cases the devil himself (though rarely he's seen as a fallen angel too- this is rare though in modern views). They may marry humans, potentially even have children from them, and generally are much like them in many ways- and also not in others- as they are embodiments of unseen powers and hidden knowledge. Just as they are capable of evil, so to are they capable of virtue- something not very prevalent in western religious thought- particularly with christianity's lack of a third race of being and it's angel-demon binary in most cases. Most muslim understandings see jinns as either having followed human prophets- even seeking them out so they may be taught in matters of faith or not only doing that, but also having prophets rise from amongst themselves (something these werewolves would consider blasphemy I'd imagine- and I'm surprised Yousef hasn't mused about this yet, he may in the chapters to come as he negotiates how to approach his faith in light of his werewolf status further) This isn't limited to jinns just being muslim either- the idea of a christian jinn (or following any other human faith) would be completely plausible in muslim eyes- as ludicrous as that may sound from a christian perspective- though there are stories like the satyr who met St.Anthony the Great as well as Christ being a super exorcist and thus being in contact with jinns (which christians would see as demons) which would make this idea plausible in muslim minds. The jinn do as they please after all. Jinns being jewish would also make sense due to in islamic tradition jinns being associated as having worked for Solomon- something seen in the Testament of Solomon as well (again another heresy for these werewolves as they would balk at a human having dominion over magical races at any point). The jinns thus in muslim views can follow human faiths, nothing at all, or faiths sprung up from their own kind (which arguably these werewolves fall into- that third category). Yosuef likely knows this, but to most werewolves we have seen so far and their associated authorities this likely seems like complete balderdash. For more benevolent jinns in folklore, in Morocco there are tales of a Jinn King who is said to have been christian then became muslim by the name of Shamhurish. In India, saints from amongst the jinn are associated with the ruined fort of Firoz Shah Kotla. Abandoned houses, graveyards, caverns, tombs, bathrooms, the ocean (it's said the throne of the devil lies upon the sea), empty woods and fields, even human cities- these are all places one may find them. Stories of jinns are common as ghost like tales in muslim circles- ranging from jinns giving rewards to those who teach them religious knowledge, haunting areas and scaring and possessing people, or teaching folk how to ward them away, or trying to help humans in ways that may seem normal to them but aren't the best (such as by possessing them to feel less lonely). You also have your more sinister jinns trafficking with warlocks to lay hexes and curses, or cursing treasures or devouring human flesh (the ghul are this- the ghouls). Supernatural entities from other regions of the world have a tendency to commonly be syncretized as being jinns in muslim eyes as well- your shedim, your peris and divs, your yakshas, your ayakashis, your fae, your se'rim- any of these could easily be seen in muslim eyes as tribes from amongst the jinns. The werewolves too would fall under this umbrella potentially- they are a race seperate from men- yet are like men in some ways yet not in others. With the jinns being associated with shifting into dogs- a tribe (or nation perhaps with it's own tribes) of them which shifts into wolves is not all that bizzare. Yosuef as you've put it is under trial in many ways. He must balance his duties as a werewolf with his human faith and heritage. Even the moon having it's own innate consciousness isn't inherently all that outlandish from a muslim perspective- but the general idea is that if one were to take that- this spirit would be in deference to what created it (which in such a view would be god)- other generally inanimate entities are seen as having some form of sapience as well- be it the heavens, mountains, even rocks (who are said to split open in awe of the divine). The werewolves see Luna as the apex of divinity which would of course clash against this- something Yousef is trying to reconcile with his old beliefs- seeing Luna as either an aspect of the transcendent reality or something similar in deference to this transcendent reality in a kind of saint like aspect. However, as he grows further involved in his duties as a seer Yousef will have to pick and choose his battles to avoid being scrutinized or worse. Though it does bring up an important question- what is the Lunarian Orthodoxy's main core? We've seen the pack rituals and Luna being important- but what is the endgame...and where did all of this start in the first place? What is the purpose of the werewolves beyond just endlessly growing their packs and getting into positions of power? Werewolves seem to need humans (mondjugens) to be born...so evidently humans came first. And exactly how the worship of Luna spread and was formalized into creed is another matter. On a more werewolf aspect of things- I think Yousef's trying of being more connected with humanity reminds me a bit of the tabletop RPG Werewolf the Apocalpse- while the werewolves (or garou) as they are known in that game have their own religion- one of the 13 tribes in that game- the glass walkers- are known for being very involved in human society while also upholding werewolf tradition- even adhering to human faiths- often to the scrutiny of other tribes and distaste. Yousef reminds me in some ways of that. Though unlike them, Yosuef isn't a tech wiz or a savvy businessman taking down or waylaying environmentally harmful individuals of great power or corporations who threaten to upset the balance of nature by exploiting the established system. The glass walkers are also known to have in that game populations in the Levant- which are majorly muslim- others in other regions adhere to other human faiths present in those regions. If we consider werewolves in this universe are global- those in the near east likely have had a long time to get adjusted to the abrahamic faiths- unlike the ones we see in this series- who seem to have a more neopagan element to them. But overall, Yousef as he grows into his position as a seer will need to learn how to pick and choose his battles as he tries to negotiate his being a werewolf and the commitment werewolves are expected to have to Lunarian Orthodoxy while also balancing himself between potentially higher level were politics (seers likely occupy places of higher political and religious importance)....while also making sure he isn't just treated like a doormat. To put this in perspective, a few chapters back Yosuef mused on if werewolves just didn't have to care about human ideals like freedom or autonomy as much in comparison to the pack and it's associated rites when struggling with Frank's new state as a slave to him- thinking perhaps it didn't matter as much as before. Now with Frank as being doomed to be a dog for the rest of his life- something tells me Yousef isn't going to feel so comfortable just taking that view as much as he was leaning into it before. Because he's now facing the personal cost of what that view can lead to. In many ways, Bill's prodding led to this tragedy (and he had his reason for that to)- but Yousef likely is not going to be as gung-ho about just going full were culturally as he was leaning into before. He will still immerse himself more into such of course- but weather or not he becomes the perfect lunarian orthodoxy oriented individual the others may want of him is another- and honestly I don't think he will- his faith is important to him. Syncretizing is likely the name of the game here- in a way that respects both paths. I do hope I didn't ramble too much with this comment- as a former seminarian- you likely know most of this knowledge regardless, and I do hope I'm not being reductive.

This series is a true delight! Great writing, huge muscles, hot raunchy sex, great characters, and careful world building and storytelling. I am hooked!!!
