Genetics and Reproduction

Efreeti do not reproduce. They are created when the soul of a sentient living creature melds with the primordial matter of an elemental plane.

Culture and Cultural Heritage

Efreet are infamous for their hatred of servitude, desire for revenge, cruel nature, and ability to beguile and mislead. Two related concepts, however, are foremost in the mind of an Efreeti: honor and acquisition.
Efreet are born traders, always looking to acquire more: more wealth, more power, and most of all more honor. They use their magical skills to further these goals. The efreeti known as Kimzahn reportedly explained the concept of honor as follows:
“The concept of honor to beings such as I is sure to be alien to you, and hard to understand. For example, when my kind decides to grant one of yours a wish, it is our way of amassing honor for our race. When we grant a human a wish, it shows that the things you desire most are things that we can freely discard. Thus, we feel our race has gained honor. What else would an efreeti need?”
Efreeti names are also part of this concept. They are exceedingly long and contain history and respectful details of lineage. When interacting with lesser creatures, they will normally take on a simpler name.

Efreeti have no specific need for relations between other species other than curiosity or boredom.
