Salamander
A people of intense passion, salamanders have difficulty hiding their emotions, especially anger. In dealings with others, they can be aggressive to the point of causing offense, even threatening, if they don’t get their way. Such emotional outbursts never last for long, though, and they quickly forget what raised their ire in the first place.

Salamanders are found almost exclusively in the Gedia Empire, although some also live in the Covioria Republic.
History
The genies shaped the first salamanders from elemental flame to serve as thralls to those wild and willful beings. After humans learned to bind the Djinn, the genies retreated from the world, leaving behind their servants. For centuries, the salamanders and their descendants lived lives of luxury and decadence in the Gedia Empire.
