Homebrew El-domain Djinni (Genie) (by Baskerevil) Species Details

Creation

It is believed that members of this race first appeared hundreds of thousands of years ago when various elemental creatures sided with divine order of cosmos and were granted various boons by the gods. One of the boons was a form similar to mortals, and thus individuals of the El-domain believe that they represent the link between elemental forces, divine forces and mortal creatures. 

 

Duty

El-domain was created as a independent realm to house elementals who sided with the gods, or so it is believed. Whether fact of fiction, Djinnies of the domain view themselves as something similar to angels, and thus they feel duty bound to assists gods, to guide mortal life, and to safeguard the divine order of cosmos. Though, El-domain Djinnies venerate most gods, even the chaotic ones, so most of them do not agree on which god represents their duty the most. In fact, from time to time these Djinnies have something similar to a civil war and religious disagreement boil over.  

 

Modern History

Nobody knows why El-domain Djinnies disappeared. Some of them were corrupted by various fiends and turned into corrupted forms of themselves, others sleep away in various prisons. Members of this race do not die from an old age, thus all remaining ones wait till they get released from their prisons so that they could return to their duty.
It is very rare to find a lamp or another magical container holding El-domain Djinni, but if you release one, then most of them will feel obliged to assist you until end of your natural life, not only because most of them are lawfully good, but mostly because they have inherent sense of duty to guide mortal souls.
