Would the dark continent also get dragged into the war against Laem, Kou, Sindria and Magnoshutt. Seeing how we know nothing of the place other then it holds a group of Fanalis who don't seem to want to leave their home.

Dark Continent is off to the south west, nowhere near the turmoil area.
I don't see how it would be involved in the geopolitical warfare. Heck, there's not even any nations there we know of, other than Eliohaput in the north. Hmmm.. come to think of it, no one got the Magi Guide Book in the English world, and haven't been scanned or anything eh? It has the world map on it, and by cross referencing the manga and the guide book, a fan made a general location map based on the world map in the book. I'll translate it and post it here for everyone. EDIT And done. Keep in mind, the actual map is official, general location is mix of cross-reference with the manga and guide book, and guesses from its description. (For example, the oasis city Delhinmar is described to be north of Balbaad, on the road near where the thief hideout was) The map making credit & source: http://nizikan.blog.fc2.com/blog-category-20.html

Have there been any info on the Paltevia Empire? If not then that could be another set of characters and dungeons that could be added to the story. I didn't know there was a Magi guide book out. I wonder what if it would come with character&Djinn stats? Also about the Dark Djinns do any of them have any personally ? |

I tried getting the guide book on my last amazon.jp shipment, but it was premium priced and on marketplace because the book only had initial printing, and sold out immediately. (meaning, 2 month since it came out and it's out of print already )
And yes, it did come with character stats... for like... pretty much everyone. As for Paltevia, only thing we know is that it used to be one of the great empires, but recently have been failing and weakened. No idea why (economical, plague, etc) but we do know of several characters that came from there. Dragone the dragon-man of Sindoria was a noble of Paltevia, son of the great general. We saw him briefly in his young age, arguing with young Sindbad on his first journey in the preview of the Sindbad spinoff. And Ms Myers and her brother in Magnostatt are also from Paltevia.

That suucks. If you're lucky maybe there would be another batch being printed and hopefully you can get one that time.
As for the stats would it shows the Metal vessel users and their stats for each form e.g Amon stats, Amon when Alibaba is using the weapon equip form and then when he is using the full equip form? Also are we ever going to get a flash back into how Hakuryuu learnt Djinn Weapon/ Full Equip. Also the convo that he and Zagan had when he was making his wooden arm for him. Ahhh. Wanna bet that Al Sarmen has something to do with that empire falling. So maybe we will see an alliance with the prince/princess and Sindria. I take it Dragone would be Sinbed first general seeing how he may have been with him when he went into Baal Dungeon. Then again I don't think we still know if that pic was Baal could well have been another Djinn of his. |

Dunno if it's been posted in the anime thread or not... but damn. I don't know whether this one is a MAD or a legitimate PV, but I just couldn't stop laughing.

Yeah, thanks for posting that map, Aohige! As for whether or not the Dark Continent would be a target of a power-hungry empire..... well, I'd guess that it would depend on what kind of resources/treasures could be found there (coal, oil, gold, diamonds, etc.). I mean, I think the continent is even supposed to be modeled after Africa, so would it really be surprising if some greedy foreigners decided to colonize there and milk the land for all it's worth....?

Also I wonder how Musrur will feel if he is to go against his own friends from the Colosseum. Assume there where other fanalis at that time also fighting in the Colosseum. As he was a slave gladiator back when he was young until Sinbad saved him. |

I doubt there's Marsur's friend in that bunch. Considering Sindbad's nature, if there's more Fanalis than just Marsur, he will save them for sure. Not to mention that Rohroh said Mu rescue him and the other Fanalis from slavery around the world.

And from the flashback of Sinbad/Masrur's first encounter, we could tell that 'Adventures of Sinbad in Laem' happened at a very young age for him, while Masrur was probably 10 years old or less. Quote:

I'm pretty sure he won't be giving these options to the 'goi', whom will quite likely be extracted more during the period of the war to power the magic tools.

Also I wonder what part in this war will Aladdin have. Anyone else hoping that the story will go back 6 months to show use what Alibaba and Mor have been doing and what effect will Aladdin story will have on them. So we wouldn't see the war arc for another few months given how long Alibaba and Mor arc could be if that was the case. As so far we only know that Alibaba is training in Laem with Toto and her group. Has got another magoi thus giving him more magoi and will probably have something to do with him getting Djinn equip with the result of that and the training. Plus he has gotten a monkey friend...(Sooo hope he will fight along side Alibaba and thus get a household vessel.) While Mor has been chilling with Yunan the smexy magi. |

Consideing Laem is Rome, the treatment of slaves may be vastly different from other nations or image of slavery in 19th century Europe and America.
Roman slaves could "buy themselves" out of slavery by paying a certain tax. In fact, 5% of Roman citizens were freed slaves, and once freed, they were considered a citizen. Some of them were extremely successful, and even held position in Roman politics. Roman slavery was basically like the lowest class of poverty. It wasn't rooted in racial or inherital properties, although those may have been the reason for being in slavery in the first place, they weren't a permanent property. If Laem slavery is like Rome, a wealthier man "buying a slave out of slavery" would be a perfectly legal and common place practice. Although slavery is a an inhumane, barbaric culture in ANY form, by comparison one could argue that Roman slavery was a bit more civilized than the Euro-American slavery of kidnapped Africans. (Although the argument could be refuted by the murderous treatment of slaves in colosseum and such, at least in Rome a slave had a chance.)

The Romans were "funny" when it came to slaves...they were pretty much regarded as objects by the official citizens, killing a slave in the middle of the street was almost the same as breaking a bottle and leaving it there. If the guards saw it, he might get a reprimand for littering. But touching another's slave, even if it were just laying a hand on them was a serious problem. They could have sexual relations with slaves but always had to be the dominant one! Hell, one of the Roman Emperors was killed by his own guards for pretending to be a woman being raped by a slave during a play (this was an extreme case though).
But on the other hand not only could slaves buy their freedom (citizenship was a different matter though), many masters allowed the slaves to do as they pleased outside their duties. There were also things like neighborhood watch groups composed of slaves, they were payed by the empire to watch over an area at night. At times they were treated at the lowest point possible for any slave anywhere in history but a lot of the times they were basically low class people, barely distinguishable from actually free non-citizens. Actually, there were times when foreigners were treated WORST than slaves. As for gladiators. Well yea and no. They were mostly slaves, but they were highly trained (meaning they were never just dumped in there with no experience) and valuable. And by valuable I do mean valuable, owners were often very worried about their health. Actual death matches were RARE, very often gladiators were shown mercy and lived (subsequently punished by their masters) and if they became useless for fighting or were just horrible at it, they were put to good use in other jobs...they were never wasted and just killed off. Those that were killed quite a lot in the Colosseum were more often than not CRIMINALS rather than slaves like we see in movies (like the Gladiator). When a war play was staged in the Colosseum the losing party was always criminals awaiting execution and these guys were never shown mercy...they were always slaughtered in the worst ways. Yes! Slaves were treated better than criminals as well. |

As we still don't know the time Sinbad befriend Masrur one would assume it would be after he had captured the first dungeon Baal. By doing so he would have enough gold/sliver to travel to Laem and while there was able to train with Yambala Gladiators and thus would have befriend Masrur.
Does anyone know if the The Adventures of Sinbad has been translated? |
