Homebrew Elemental's Species Details

Those who think of other planes at all consider them remote, distant realms, but planar influence can be felt throughout the world. It sometimes manifests in beings who, through an accident of birth, carry the power of the planes in their blood. The genasi are one such people, the offspring of genies and mortals.

The Elemental Planes are often inhospitable to natives of the Material Plane: crushing earth, searing flames, boundless skies, and endless seas make visiting these places dangerous for even a short time. The Reincarnate, however, don’t face such troubles when venturing into the mortal world. They adapt well to the mingled elements of the Material Plane, and they sometimes visit—whether of their own volition or compelled by magic. Some genies can adopt mortal guise and travel incognito.

During these visits, a mortal might catch a reincarnate's eye. Friendship forms, romance blooms, and on rare occasions children result. These children are elemental's: individuals with ties to two worlds, yet belonging to neither. Some elemental's are born of two elemental's as parents, and a rare few have a reincarnate further up their family tree, manifesting an elemental heritage that’s lain dormant for generations.

Heirs to Elemental Power

Elemental's inherit something from both sides of their dual nature. They resemble humans but there is something odd about them. The elemental blood flowing through their veins manifests differently in each elemental's, often as magical power.

Seen in silhouette, a elemental can usually pass for human. Those of earth or water descent tend to be heavier, while those of air or fire tend to be lighter. All elemental's look like they are human.

Most elemental's live in one of the four large elemental cities.

 

Elemental's Lands

As hidden beings, elemental's might go their entire lives without encountering another one of their kind. If they are born in one of the human cites. Elemental's seldom have cities of their own and they are big they are four of them one in a mountain, one in a volcano, one atop of a mountain, and one at the bottom of the ocean.

Elemental Names
