Homebrew Fire Efreet Species Details
Originally formed and molded as dragons, by Tiamat herself, Efreet are fire taken shape and consciousness. They were born to be the slaves of dragon kind, things to be looked down on and sent on whatever errand their master needed. However after Tiamat's banishment the street tasted freedom for the first time.
They ran from their former slavers, with nothing but hatred for metallic dragons in their hearts. They came across the humanoids of the world and willed their shakes to change to symbolise the new freedom they had found. Whilst few and far between, the Efreet have gentle souls, but understand the need to fight for freedom, regardless of the cost.
