Earth Genasi

The Genasi have ancient roots to the extinct (or believed to be extinct) race of genies that roamed the elemental frequencies. Air, earth, fire, and water—these form the physics of the Mater and the four most common types of genasi. Often, Genasi can trace their lineage directly to a genie of old, there were not very many. Depending on the genie, it may be a sense of pride or shame. There was a time, before the Silverhost came to be, that Genies were considered the will of the gods and their powerful conjuration and illusion magics reigned supreme.
