Energy Genasi

Born of the brilliant light and bountiful life of Irian, the Plane of Energy, and molded into a perfected humanoid shape by the Elder Elemental itself, the Energy Genasi are a celebration of positive energy in the universe. Many of the Energy Genasi dwell in the Energy Enclave, which is said to be built into an open-air temple on a large hill in the depths of the jungles of the Southern Wilds where the people can bask in the glorious rays of the sun.   Energy Genasi often have golden or porcelain white skin, which can sometimes cause confusion between them and the far rarer Aasimar but it is usually taken in good stride. The Energy Genasi society tends to focus on positive attitudes and promoting life wherever they go. Their hair is often luminescent and flowing against gravity.
