Shaitan

Shaitans resemble humanoids and appear to be carved from rock, with glossy skin and glittering eyes. When they move it sounds like stone grating on stone. They are stronger than djinn, but not as strong as the other genies. Their powers centre around control of stone: they can burrow through stone, or simply glide through it as if it wasn't there. They can bull rush foes into stone so that they are held fast, and can shape stone to their design. They can also transform one metal into another, although this transformation lasts only one day. Shaitans tend to be boastful and egotistical, and sulk if their pride is hurt. They dress in as much finery as they can afford, and sometimes use illusions to increase the impression of wealth.

Shaitans maintain an empire that spans the Plane of Earth, with its capital at the Opaline Vault. This is the seat of their ruler, Sultana Ashadieeyah bint Khalid, who oversees the race's mining operations and trade. They love working with metal and stone, and also love to enter into bargains, particularly those they can twist to their own benefit.

Shaitans are not cruel, but neither are they kind. Their empire makes extensive use of slavery with ruthless efficiency, binding a wide array of slaves for all sorts of purposes. They prefer slaves willing to sell themselves into servitude, only forcibly enslaving those who oppose them; these creatures often spend the rest of their lives toiling in the empire's vaults.
