Genies are fascinating and formidable elemental beings, both mystical and enigmatic, whose presence can add a sense of grandeur, power, and wish fulfillment to any campaign.

Elemental Monarchs:
Genies are rare and majestic creatures hailing from the Elemental Planes, where they rule from opulent palaces attended by devoted and often enslaved elemental beings. These elemental monarchs are as brilliant as they are mighty, with an inherent sense of entitlement stemming from the knowledge that their power is rivalled only by gods and other genies.

Soul-Forged Existence:
Genies come into existence through the fusion of the souls of sentient living creatures with primordial elemental matter. Their connection to their mortal soul determines their form, apparent gender, and a few key personality traits. Although they appear humanoid, they are ultimately elemental spirits given physical form. Genies do not reproduce in the traditional sense but are born from this mysterious fusion of spirit energy and elemental power. When a genie passes, it leaves behind only what it carried and a trace of its native element.

Lovers of Luxury:
Genies possess a deep appreciation for luxury and indulgence, with magnificent palaces filled with sensory delights beyond mortal imagination. They revel in the opulence of their abodes and the servitude of their elemental attendants and, often, slaves. Noble genies, in particular, have become decadent from centuries of trading wishes for their desires, cultivating a sense of haughtiness and arrogance.

Wish-Bearers and Wish-Seekers:
Genies command the power of their native element, but the most coveted ability they possess is the power to grant wishes. Mortal mages seek to bind genies into service, hoping to harness the wish-granting power. At the same time, genies are always seeking something for themselves and may offer to grant wishes to mortals who pique their interest or hold something they desire.

Rivalry Among the Mighty:
Among the genie hierarchy, noble genies are the rarest and most powerful. They cultivate jealousy and envy among their kind and assert their superiority at every opportunity. Other genies often respect the influence of the nobles, knowing the consequences of defiance. However, no genie is beholden to any noble, and some may choose to defy them, even if it risks their wrath.

Slave-Masters and Worship-Seekers:
Genies place great value on mortal slaves, treating them as honored members of their households. Slaves validate a genie's power and high self-opinion, with flattery and subservience as music to their ears. While evil genies may threaten and abuse their slaves, they never go too far, as slaves must remain useful. Mortal worship directed toward genies by their devotees is especially treasured, granting them a sense of god-like significance.

Rule or Be Ruled:
Genies thrive on the dynamics of power and control, and they view slaves as proof of their authority and mastery. The number of slaves prostrated before them is a testament to their dominion. They understand that in the world of genies, you either rule or be ruled, and thus, they guard their status and influence vigilantly.

In a campaign, Genies can be both allies and adversaries, their vast powers, complexity, and intricate dynamics making for compelling storytelling and gameplay. Adventurers may seek to form bargains with Genies to gain wishes, or they may face the challenges of opposing a prideful noble genie. The allure of their magical abilities and the potential for epic wish-granting adventures make Genies a captivating addition to any fantasy world.
