Homebrew Efreeti Species Details

The efreet (singular efreeti) are genies from the Plane of Fire. An efreeti tends to stand about 12 feet tall and weigh about 2,000 pounds.

Efreet have few allies among geniekind. They certainly hate djinn, and attack them on sight. They hold an equally strong enmity for marids, and view the jann as frail and weak. Efreet often work closely with shaitans, yet even then alliances are temporary at best.

An Efreeti is a being of pure flame, unable to be harmed by it. Their control over flame is rarely matched, and even the native Fire Giants of the Elemental Plane of Fire tend to steer clear of them.  Some Efreeti are deemed as “Nobles”, but it has nothing to do with their moral spectrum. Noble Efreeti rule over other fiery creatures with iron fists and cruel punishments, establishing dictatorships that are neigh unstoppable. These empires are known to collapse, however, when they encroach on the territory of other genies, so they are usually reserved to the Elemental Plane of Fire.
