Hello, folks.
In the game I DM, I have a janni wizard who took control of a big region of the world. He unified separate tribes into an empire. He did this by enslaving genies (carefully choosing which genies no one would miss and keeping this a secret) and milking wishes out of them. I haven't defined how many genies he has enslaved, but I'm guessing ten is a good number.
Even though he can get whatever he wants from the wishes, he controls it very well - you can only benefit from that if you're completely loyal to him. So basically, everyone in the empire is more or less well fed and well provided for, unless you are against him in any way - then it's no soup for you. If you're skilled at something or if he just likes you, expect top grade pay, a heroes' feast every day - that kind of stuff.
This means he can equip his troops with basically anything he wants. My players are about to meet a diplomat from this empire (the janni's grandson, a suli Magus) with a few bodyguards (human Fighters, I'm guessing 4th level - they're elite, after all). Which equipment should I give them?
My party is level 9, but I'm more worried about the wish thing making sense than WBL and balance here. All suggestions are pretty much welcome.
