Interlude 6 Summary: “The First Tale of the Moon of Saba”

There was a famous queen, Bilqis of Saba, who was the daughter of a human and a djinn. She eventually became the consort of the famous Suleiman. She ruled wisely and independently, and she was beautiful and clever enough to attract the attention of the moon itself. In its fourth aspect, the moon saw her and fell in love. Called Al-Dabaran, this phase of the moon manifested himself in the form of a large pearl. Bilqis made this pearl the center of her crown. There are many stories to say what happened to the pearl after she died. The tales are so varied that it is as if someone well-trained in the hiding of magical items intentionally made the story chaotic so that no one would find it, particularly no one with greed in their heart.
