Subject and Content
Breaking from what has been a standard of 144 pages a book, the Cradle and the Crescent is 192 pages, including a single page advert. The extra pages allow it to not just provide information on the various regions it covers, but allows it to dedicate forty-two pages to describe a rival order of magic, what magus of the Order of Hermes call the Order of Solomon. Another twenty pages are dedicated to a large category of supernatural spirits that play a pivotal role in the magic of this new order, the Jinn. What can be called a magical and divine tradition, Mythic Zoroastrianism is detailed in another twenty pages.
After the introduction, a very short history section, and the appendices, seventy-three pages detail the regions of Mythic Arabia, Mesopotamia, and Persia, as well providing information on the silk road.
