Efreet (sing: efreeti[6]; fem: efreeta[8]) were a type of genie native to the Elemental Plane of Fire.[4][3] They were unpredictable creatures with fiery forms and spectacular magical powers.
Description[]
Efreet were humanoid in appearance. They were very tall, generally reaching heights of 12 feet (3.7 meters), and massive and solid, weighing 2,000 pounds (910 kilograms). They were well-muscled, and had red or black skin that was always burning. For this reason, many resembled devils and were often mistaken for them. Their bodies were supposedly composed of basalt, bronze, and solidified fire.[4]
Habitat[]
Efreet were known to inhabit the sun of Realmspace.[9]
Relations[]
Fire elementals avoided the efreet if they could, fearing their oppression and opportunism. Djinn hated them, and there were numerous battles between the two genie races. Dao were tolerated by the efreet, whom they traded worked materials with in exchange for raw metals. Most other races were treated by the efreet as either servants or slaves.[4]
