In The Great Khan’s Tent Episode XII: The Arabian Nights Part X

In this episode, we finally end the story of “The Third Royal Dervish” and begin the final round of tales with the “The Story of the First of the Three Ladies of Baghdad” continuing with Night XVI and going into Night XVII. We again encounter the prospect of being lost at sea and winding up in an entirely new place setting a precedent with the orphan stories like Sindbad. We also encounter for the first time the presence of the Magians or commonly now known as the Magi the priests of the Zoroastrians. This is the first instance we have so far seen that the call to convert to Islam was not heeded. We also surprisingly encounter, for the first time, the tendencies to loot a city when the first lady and her sisters are confronted with a city where they are able to take what they want at will and this is shown by their willing to separate when going through the city.
