Jinn

Born from the spectrum of the world heart light incarnated in a fiery body, jinns are powerful magical beings with divine powers and strong personalities. They thrive in the hottest regions of the world and use their powers to create awe-inspiring palaces, massive libraries and endless gardens of delight for their own amusement. These powers also means that despite having many mortal needs, such as requiring both food and sleep, jinn rarely lack for anything, which can make them seem somewhat detached.
As individuals, jinn derive a lot of their base personality from the color of their fire, which in turn often determines their tribal affiliation. This flame also determines which powers they may develop and how strong they can become. 
Jinn are often rumored to be able to grant wishes, though this is not entirely true. What is true is that jinn culture values reciprocity and thus in return for service rendered, jinn are more than willing to use their vast powers to assist. One should be careful not to abuse a jinn's trust or generosity, however, or one might come to understand just how dangerous a wish can be.
If they deign to engage in battle, jinn trust their supernatural fortitude to keep them safe while bombarding the opponent with magical tricks. Even in melee they augment their natural claws and teeth with magical spells, especially fiery ones.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Jinn names tend to represent a concept, like an experience, an act or similar. Since their native tongue is one most races have trouble speaking, they often need to translate their names in order for others to use it. And when translated, this usually results in their names being rendered in long sentences, so these are usually shortened to something easy to remember.

Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals

Wish-Granting: While not capable of just bending reality to their whim, jinn have the capacity to do many things other races can't. If a jinn is given aid, they will often return the favor by offering a number of wishes, one to three being the most common.

Common Taboos

Ingratitude: Jinn culture value reciprocity. A jinn who is given aid owes a favor, unless the aiding party declines being given aid in return. And even so, the jinn must be ready to aid them when they need it. However, should a jinn owe favors to someone of detestable nature, there's no taboo against twisting the favors into torments.
