Djinn, Djinni (pl.)
Djinni live primarily in the Sandaria Wastes. They are immortal, but there are few of them left. They often remain in hiding, and never stray too close to settlements.
In times past, the djinni were often captured and enslaved by mages for their ability to grant wishes. Most records stop there. For hundreds of years there is almost no information on the djinni. The latest information shows that the djinni are now almost extinct. They do not like any of the other races, and do not trust non-djinni.
The djinni are characteristically proud and suspicious of others. They have a deep love of the Sandaria Wastes. They are not evil nor good; some will kill non-djinni when discovered, some will leave dying travelers seeking water in the desert, some will leave small gifts to those with good hearts, and some will enslave non-djinni. Most djinni will leave humans and the like alone.
All djinni can glide and fly without wings. They can turn invisible at will and take the form of another.
