Djinn-Blessed

The djinn-blessed are humans descended from the union of humans and a djinn, a genie of elemental air. The djinn are known to be friendly with humans, though they enjoy their reputation as tricksters as well. Their fondness for humans has naturally led to the occasional offspring, and now there are more than a few who descend from them, carrying the blessings of this unique ancestry.
