Homebrew Jinnborn Species Details
Native to the deepest deserts, the jinnborn claim they were the first mortals to walk the world. They say in the beginning, all the world was a vast desert beneath a fiery sun; in those times, the jinnborn wandered where they willed and ruled over all they saw. They refer to themselves as the sab siraat, or “people of the path.” Descended from powerful elemental creatures called the Jinn (singular: jinni), the jinnborn manifest gifts through their lineage that help them survive their harsh home environment. Passionate people, the jinnborn seek wealth when they can, revel in revenge when they must, and cherish close companionship always. Outsiders label them as capricious or even savage, never fully understanding the jinnborn’s true nature.
